Here is a great tool for pulling color schemes from any website, or image on the web or any file you have stored locally.

Choose Image

First choose the url or load your own image. This site will create a myriad of different color schemes from the image, or you can choose from a selection of available colors pulled from the image.

Samples All Colors in Image

The site also manages the schemes created into a searchable database, so you can look for schemes that are “blue” or remind you of the “desert” or are tagged as “Obama’s Ears”.

Olympic Rings - Easy

OK, so I got sucked into watching a huge amount of the Olympics, more than I ever have. No doubt this is entirely due to the incredibly sophisticated coverage that NBC pulled off flawlessly, and even more so by the spectacle that China designed on such a massive scale. The artistry of Zhang Yimou’s opening ceremony, the stunning architecture of the olympic venues, and the amazing landscapes that China seemed to be sharing with the world for the first time ever. I was blown away. Good Luck, London!

While I grew to respect badminton and even get sucked in to watching the bikini-clad beach volleyball team win a gold on Beijing’s rock-n-roll beach, there were still events that it seems I missed.

Did you happen to catch any of these?

Don’t know what I’d do without this site.  Get logos for just about any company you can think of all in vector based eps format.  Awesome!
