Here are a few "cool tools" I use when working with color and images on web sites (I know, what’s a Conversation Conductor doing working on web sites…that’s another post). Hope you find these as valuable as I do:

  • Color Blender: Just found this the other day, but I’m already hooked. Choose a color and get a 6-color matching palette (a "blend"). You can modify the blend with different variations
  • HTML Color Converter: I use this almost as much as a coffee cup. I often get stuff delivered with RGB colors and need to convert them.
  • Color Palette Generator: Upload a photo and get a color palette matching the image.
  • Forget Photoshop: 15 Online Graphics Generators: The folks at Mashable list some great tools for buttons and backgrounds

Are there some I’ve missed?  Share them in the comments or on your blog.

    Mike,
    ColorZilla (http://www.iosart.com/firefox/colorzilla/) is an indispensable tool in my webkit. It gives you a color picker from the FireFox status bar, but more useful is the eyedropper tool that works on anything you’re viewing in the browser.
    It’s especially handy when trying to figure out the colors used in a graphic made by somebody else. (Like a client logo.)
