Adobe has a great website called Kuler that helps create useful color schemes to jump start the design process. This site allows you to upload an image and create swatches from the tones within. It also has options on how to interpret the colors for specific looks or tone styles.
If you are in need of some color inspiration, this is a great place to start. Visit Kuler
Now if you need some more inspiration, I would start by checking out some of the Video Copilot Products!

You can get it as a pallet in Adobe Illustrator too under Window > Adobe Labs. I live by Kuler! Well… that and Video Copilot.
Thanks for this Andrew.
Thank You !!
WOW… where was this 9 months ago. Would have been perfect, but regardless looks and sounds awesome. I’m going to go try it out.
i think colourlovers.com is better
Oh sweet, very slick find.
Thanks for the post ^^
Great tip andrew i get stuck on colors often.. as for the video co pilot discs.. i already own a stack of them.. of course
gotta support the hand that feeds us with all the killer tuts and info.
sweet
I remember when I read Stu Maschwitz’s book The DV Rebels Guide he mentioned a site that did something similar (but not for the purpose of creating color schemes like Kuler). Once I get home I’ll see if I can find that link.
Is also great
This site is Perfect………
It’s very useful in selecting your design’s color
Thankssssssssssssssssssssssssss
There is also a great program called GenoPal that will allow you to eyedrop a color anywhere on your screen to create a pallet of colors that work together.
this is been around for quite some time, highly helpful though
also check out the Kuler swatch panel in flash, for flash developers
thanks^^, Kuler sounds like color with a wrong pronunciation.
the site could be pretty useful im gonna check it out
I’ve wanted something like this for ages! It crossed my mind that a site like that must be out there somewhere before, but I never really found a good one. This is exactly what I needed!
Thanks!!
awesome, ive been looking for something like this for a while, and ive had like $0 to buy books on it
Nice tool, but to be honest it only has a value to color deaf as a real designer would not need a software to match colors and another problems with these tools is that they play too safe – they pick up safe colors, so if a person relies on those palettes, all of the designs would end up plain and not daring enough
But thanks anyway
Nice, very useful.
Thanks, definitly a huge time saver. and with over 36,000 presets, well it’s sure to keep me busy for a while
Try out the “Create from photo” feature. Another 1/2 hour you’ll never get back…
Bookmarked! Thanks for the tip!
Excellent Tip. Thanks Andrew!
Mm looks very nice and promising but I dont really know how to use it atm ;D WIll figure it out one day or someone can help me ;d
that’s right videocopilot products rock!!
lol, “inspiration”
I’m waiting for the Advanced DVD. I’ll be getting that the second it comes out.
This is always a fun place to go, it totally is worth a look, you may even feel some of the combos of color give you nastalgic vibes…very interesting
…

Andrew, this is an awesome tool! Thanks for the heads up. It’s very very cool that you share stuff like this with everyone. I hope you keep doing it.
By the way, I’m still saving for that Red Rock Micro adapter. (just gotta buy a few more 1.5TB drives first.)
As usual, All the useful Tip comes from a singal website, “VIDEOCOPILOT”
Thnx Andrew for being so helpful.
Videocopilot ROCKZ!
Thanks Andrew.
Definitely a very strong and useful tool.
All sounds very similar to;
WOW, what an incredible design tool this is! Kuler is now at the very top of my design workflow:

I am currently working on a website job, and Kuler is helping out tremendously. I always get a mental block when selecting color schemes, and this Kuler item works wonders. Thanks Andrew.
