Here's a super cool website to check out: http://colorschemedesigner.com/
It easily generates all sorts of color schemes, from simple to complex, ID's the colors, and exports them in a variety of formats to use in different programs (like Photoshop) or to file away or send to clients, etc. You can adjust hue and contrast to fine tune for subtlety or boldness. But wait, there's more! There's a randomization option, and even a vision simulation option to see how the scheme would appear to viewers with different variations of colorblindness. Wow, who comes up with this stuff?
It's a brilliant tool for easily visualizing color scheme concepts. Well, and for some of us, it uh, can provide hours of entertainment! There's also an "Instant Designer Shop" with pages and pages of ideas for logos, websites, etc... an all around handy place to go for inspiration when the creative juices aren't flowing so well, like on these hot summer days!
