The beautiful thing about photographs is that they are not just exciting to take, to share or to decorate an area with but equally they’re very inspiring when the one thing you’re looking to get from them is a carefully crafted color palette to use and ColorSuckr is by far the best tool to let you do that.
It’s essentially an online service that creates color schemes based on photos for use in your artwork & designs. You can either enter a photo url or use their handy bookmarklet and ColorSuckr will return the 12 most common colors along with hex and RGB references, plus loads of features including Flickr integration, swatch downloads and palette suggestions.
If you’re more a Firefox user, there’s also a plugin you can use.
The site is aimed at photographers, web & graphic designers but of course anyone can benefit from it even if you’re at lost in deciding what color to paint your room and need inspiration.
The whole concept behind Twitter is about informing people what you’re doing ‘now’ so the idea of having pre-written Tweets for future release to the public may seem counterintuitive but it can come in handy.
