Kul(er)

One of the most difficult tasks I face when painting a room in my home or designing a marketing piece is choosing the right colors.  Which colors go together?  Do those colors clash?  Is that tacky?  

Adobe (as they are known for doing) has solved this problem.  They created Kuler.  Kuler has thousands of color themes submitted by designers from around the world.  Each theme contains 5 complementary swatches to give you a variety of options.  You can even search for a particular color or idea.  Do you need a blue color?  Do you need colors that feel airy?  Want a modern color pallet?

Didn't find what you need?  You can create your own theme and submit for others to enjoy.  The tools on the website help you find complementary colors based on a color of your choice.  It can be very easy to use or allow you to completely geek out.

Adobe might be taking over the world, but I'm OK with that.
