COLOURlovers

Color inspiration and color selection articles are all over the web (there is even one included in the latest issue of Design In-Flight), but sometimes you just want a place to go where you can see different color combinations at work. This is where COLOURlovers comes in.

The site hosts a number of color combinations and even allows you to rate each color and combination. Definitely a site that every designer should have bookmarked. I think I will play with some of the combinations on this site today to change things up a bit.

I'm really feeling this palette. Which one is your favorite?

I've really been digging this site http://www.colr.org, you should definetly check it out if you haven't yet.

Thanks for the link Nick. I will definitely free up some time to play with that site.

I'm liking this one - nice high contrast.

Did you know that, technically, black and yellow has the highest visible contrast possible? Logically, it would be black/white, but it's not...

At the moment, I like this one

Yet my color likes and dislikes seem to change often... :)

Yellow and black? For real? Hmm, don't know if I should find that interesting or exceptionally design-geeky. I guess it can fit under both.

Daniel, I like that combination. Don't see that stuff too often, of course those are more fall-type colors. Can't believe I just said that.

Great resource. I'm a big fan of the palette Daniel picked out. Nice colors.

That's why street signs and school buses are yellow and black. :-)

neat site, Paul. thanks for the link.

Wow, just the site I've been looking for.

And they spell colour with a U. That's 2 points. :D

What about a little day-glo action?

Also, JC apparently doesn't read ForeverGeek at all anymore. ;)

Haha, I already jumped on him about that. He says he read it on FG at home and bookmarked it, then read it here at work and bookmarked it.

This one is definitely my favorite. I'm in a girly phase.
