Kuler: A Quick Way to Build Colorschemes
October 8th, 2007
Alright, so most of us would put Adobe Kuler squarely in the designers column. While the YUI Color picker we discussed yesterday is definitely a programmers widget. Kuler is a webservice for building color schemes.
Kuler can be useful for more people than just designers. The great scheme tools help facilitate the math when working on transitional effects or just filling in the gaps left in the design brief. Besides, most of us have to switch hit as designers every now and then so a quick and dirty tool for building color schemes can come in handy.
Lastly, Kuler’s API’s could be invaluable to empowering users in your next project. More on that will come soon.

Kuler, one of my favorite resources on the internet.

I agree, It’s amazing how much inspiration you can get from it. I like to use the tag search to find the moods I’m trying to achieve in projects.

It needs Flash Player 9 to run - but it looks really good… quick easy color scheme interface! It’s what any coder with no design sense needs!

I’m ok with the flash 9 issue since I treat it as a developers tool. It can really jump start the design phase of projects. One way I’ve used it is to generate clean color schemes for wireframes. It lets me create an attractive mockup without too much effort and that preserves the “crude & unfinished” look that mockups sometimes need.
