OK, this really wasn’t meant for flowers. But it’s fun…if you like this sort of thing. 🙂 (I do!)
Found this really cool toy on WebsiteTips.com. Clearly, meant for web work (!). But I do that too, and really, at the end of the day, a palette’s-a-palette’s… right? So this web app (free – jo use it!) lets you pick a base color, and then a scheme (complimentary, analogous, triadic, and a few twists…like we talked about on a recent post), and hands you back a palette! No more…” does this work?”
Of course, it doesn’t know flower form or seasonality from Adam…but still. If you’re trying to just get a foothold on it all, it’s a really fun place to start.
And if you *do* happen to be a web designer, the handy-dandy instantaneous hex color rocks!
Have a look! It’s at Website Pro. Enjoy!
