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. :-)

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.
