Choosing your Color Palette

Ever have trouble putting color together, trying to decide what will look good with that hot pink wool in your stash, or how to layout the colors in your Tulips Baby Cardigan? COLORovers is a site you should check out.

[COLOURlovers is a resource that monitors and influences [tag]color trends[/tag]. COLOURlovers gives the people who use color – whether for ad campaigns, product design, or even in architectural specification – a place to check out a world of color, compare color palettes, submit news and comments, and read color related articles and interviews.

The COLOURlovers community is regularly updated with information and examples of the way colors are used in the real world — along with news articles on color trends and interviews with top creative professionals. Here everyone who is interested in the practical applications of color can find an index of color trends as they are happening.

It’s a tool designers and artists of all kinds use to work with colors in new ways and quickly find out what’s hot and what’s not. This site allows anyone to find their inspiration for color by searching, sorting and filtering through keywords to a color scheme that interests them… or create and share your own!
