someone asked about this in another thread, so I thought I'd place the link here for everyone. enjoy!

Hexidecimal Color Chart (http://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm#03)

thanks :)

i usually use this one..... the swatch control feature is handy too.

Hex Hub Color Codes (http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html)

I find that taking a screenshot, pasting in photoshop and selecting the Eye Dropper Tool and hovering over the desired colour gets me the exact colour I want/need.

Great tip. Thanks

I do that most of the time myself. But the hex charts come in handy for those who don't do graphics but need to change a color. ;)

My editor, EditPlus, and photoshop both have color charts with hex and decimal codes. I just use one or the other if I need a color. Plus they have web only color limits too.

The vB style manager has built in color choosers as well. It's rare I need to search for a color or use a website.

yeah i do this too, either with screenies or with an image of somesort.

This color wheel (http://ficml.phpnet.us/jemimap/style/color/wheel.html) color chooser is way more fun to use. :)

I use Pixie color picker (http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.html)

Ever wondered what colors work good together? I found this site that has a free color schemer to tell you just that.

Now that is simply awesome miner. Some of those colors I would have NEVER thought to use together.

That is nice. Thanks

Great site. I just have to figure out how to work it. :p

I have been using cpick.exe, a little color-picker freeware app. I don't know if it's still available out there.

I've had fun getting web page colors from images. For example, from a picture of a gray limestone bluff, by choosing between light and dark, I can make a font/background color pair similar to the light gray/dark gray currently used here. I think it's so much easier on the eye than stark black and white.

For in-house company web pages, I have taken colors from the conpany logo.

Firefox has a nifty extension called ColorZilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/271), it sits in the bottom of the window. You click on a photoshop like dropper, place it anywhere on the webpage and it spits out an RGB value.

must have been messy...... :frog:

Adobe has its own "buzzword compliant" color scheme generator, you can download the schemes (schema?) to your hard drive in a format compatible with Adobe applications. You will need to subscribe to a free Adobe ID account.

I reckon Miner's link to Steeldolphin is the business. Now why couldn't I find that post when I was trying to make my own color scheme :(

I LOVE the Steeldolphin site. I use it quite often when I'm trying to decide on a color scheme for a new skin.

and now that I need it.... it's down! :mad:
