Colourlovers.com


I stumbled upon this site a few months ago and thought it was amazing. Colour Lovers is an entire website dedicated to color. Members can log in an create their own color palettes and patterns for others to view and rate.
It is a great vehicle for people to pick up inspiration from others or experiment with different combinations without opening up Photoshop or Illustrator. But if you do want to use creations from this site, there's an export option in various file types, Photoshop and Illustrator included. There is also a blog dealing with color and its practical applications in art and other fields as well. Topics range from the meaning of the GLBT rainbow flag to the true color of the Eiffel Tower.

Here is an example of a palette I came up with.
5 Color Print
