womble -> The definitive colour scheming tool list... (11/2/2006 18:17:20)

Yep, it's the definitive colour scheming tool list (until Tail finds us some more [:D])..... A collection of colour scheming resources compiled from posts here and elsewhere. Many of these tools allow you to generate a colour scheme for a website either based on a base colour, or some by analysing the colours in images. Many of these are web based apps that are free to use, but this list includes both free and paid tools. Many of these tools use color theory - but you don't need to be an expert in color theory to use these tools. Color Scheme Tool: http://www.steeldolphin.com/color_scheme.html quote:
