Painters
Putting together a great color palette for your design work can be
one of the most challenging aspects of any project. And many
times, color palettes are built from some source of inspiration. So why
not be inspired by some of history’s greatest master artists?
Colour Lovers has a lot of great tools including the ability to create color palettes auto-magically from pics you find around the web. It’s a great way to find inspiration when building your palette.
Of course, computer algorithms are not perfect; they miss key accent colors frequently and make questionable decisions on extracting the dominant tones. BUT, this is an exercise in inspiration, so there’s a certain advantage to these imperfections.
