Color Hunter

Shannon at nineteen sits alone in her dorm room night after night until 4a.m., teaching herself basic HTML and CSS styling, designing version 1.2 2.0 3.3, trying to smooth out the perfect color palette over navigation, iframe, table. If only she had found something like color hunter to help with that harmonious color theme.

Upload or Google a jpeg of favorite magazine art, painting or photograph, and the generator pulls out the color palette and translates it into HTML code, you know like #993333. That's my favorite web color. There's also a tagword search at the bottom of the page that can search the web for pictures of, say, "Paris" or "starfish" or "yerba mate." Give it a try.

Note: I also used Color Hunter when I wanted to paint the rooms of my new apartment, and wasn't sure what colors would look best with my stuff. I simple uploaded pictures of the wall art I own (a Dali print, an antique map of Paris, a few favorite movie posers) and let Color Hunter show me that my living room would look best a deep, dusty blue. Well played, computer generator.
