OK, this really wasn’t meant for flowers. But it’s fun…if you like this sort of thing. \ud83d\ude42 (I do!)<\/p>\n

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…\u00a0 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<\/a>), and hands you back a palette! No more…” does this work?”<\/p>\n

Have a look! It’s at Website Pro. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
