For the longest time I used the Visibone Webmaster’s
Color Lab for the rare times when I had to come up with a color
scheme for something webby. (I still do, really; it’s pretty neat.)
Reading Kottke‘s remaindered links list the other day,
though, I came across Pixy’s color scheme
chooser, which instead of only comparing colors together lets you
choose a starting point (HSV) and then suggests colors to use
in a monochromatic, contrasting or analogic scheme, and then lets you
view how those colors will look if limited to web-safe colors (is
there even such a thing anymore?), and with a bunch of different kinds of
colorblindness. Way cool.

well dont I feel like a loser – I have been using this since the beginning of time.
Thanks for the new links.
THANK YOU.
I had this bookmarked and then firebird ate my 300k worth of bookmarks a couple weeks ago and I was going nuts trying to find it again. It’s a godsend.
I find it interesting that a blue-grey palette
looks pretty much the same to any kind of know
human vision.
awesome.
Augh! I totally needed this thing in my life! No more spending hours picking out colors!
That’s a faboulous colour tool!
Best that I’ve seen yet!
*clickclickclick* ooh, look at all the pretty colors!
