That’s another good method too. Thanks for the feedback.

I use illustrator. I place a picture. I use “live trace with 4-5 colors.”

Yeah, it’s a side business right now; hopefully it’ll become my main business soon. It’s amazing how many different design iterations it went through before I landed here. It might not be perfect, but at least I can look at it every day (and isn’t that what all designers are really aiming for? ).

Dave,
Yes, I’ve used Colourlovers before and I really like it. The Blue Planet Wedding Site looks nice. Is that a recent project of yours?

Madhur,
Glad you like it.

The tool is great. Useful when finding a particular color code from a photograph

Basing colour schemes around photos is a great technique, and excellent if you ever have to matte and frame prints, paintings or photos.

It’s not a colour generator, but for a huge range of palettes (and a really good colour community), you can’t beat colourLOVERS.com.

(BTW, like Joost, I noticed a trend towards blues and greens of the outdoors in your last post too )

Steven, take a ‘boo at http://www.blueplanetwedding.com and tell me what you think
