Color Matching
Wednesday, March 30, 2005

So for all the interesting graphic design ideas that I can come up with and have been praised for, color matching has got to be one of my weakest areas. In fact, my mom even comments on the poor color choice of shirts and pants when I dress to go out!

I have a few foolproof color matching pairs that I use for graphic design, but for the most part, It's trial and error. How can MS Publisher for example use a palate of only five colours?

Well, my prayers were answered. Today, I looked up color matching and found these sites:

http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html
Has many colours, but I'd prefer the ones with less choices as they give you a better, narrow match.

http://www.colormatch.dk/
Does't work on firefox

Clone of colourmatch 5k. Works on firefox since you can input the numbers and not deal with the sliders.

Nice sice which shows you the other colours you can compare to.

Another good site which allows you to enter the #rrggbb code.

Due to excessive spam, I have now moved my blog to http://dho.ca/wp. Please feel free to visit me there to comment!
