Third post about colour resources on the web. 1st and 2nd. Adobe Labs (seems like “labs” are becoming the new fad thing, everything to do with experimenting, testing and beta stuff) released Kula, sounds like color/cooler. I like Color Schemer Studio, it comes in a stand alone application and they also have an extensive gallery of schemes to download from.
The one thing that has always stuck with me about colour theory is that warm colours jump out at you and cooler colours recede back when view them next to each other, they almost vibrate, like how 3D glasses work. Lately I’ve been using a lot of black and white, mostly due to clients with cost/colour restrictions, most of the time, the resulting design looks better with no colour.
