Color coordinating tool

I found this online tonight, and am quite intrigued. you can click on a
color or a group of colors, and it'll pull up complementary colors and
such for you. Nice if you struggle with putting colors together or just
want something different.

How fascinating. Thanks for sharing this, Jenn.
I had a little play - as my colour choice is so conservative - but have
saved the url to go back to the site when I have some work to do on a
future project. So interesting - and wonderful to be able to see the
actual colours - rather than trying to find fabric in stash or shop.
My favourite so far is tans with turquoise! Marvellous idea.
Thanks again.

Thank you! I am drawn to bright colors, and this will give me ideas for
toning down the overall brightness of a quilt. After all, I want to people
to look at my quilts and say, "Wow!" not, "Where are my sunglasses!"

Adobe sure has come cool applications.

Thanks, Jenn. I'm not color blind, but I'm sure color challenged. This
will also help me in picking new paint and countertop colors!

One note to remember. These schemes show the colors in equal amounts.
While the hues will always coordinate well, increasing the proportion of
any one color will dramatically change the "feel" of the combo. In a
pinks & greens combo, 75% pinks will look much different than 75%
greens. One of the reasons I like the option of starting with a photo
is that the color proportions are already partially worked out for you.

Just something to keep in mind with these kinds of tools.

Wow, I just realized I can take any one of the points on that photo
and change it without changing the others. And can play with shade and
hue. I am smitten for sure. Thanks for sharing this one. I'm
registered, got it bookmarked and will surely enjoy a lot of time
working with color groupings.

That's a very good point; but, for someone like me - who would never
have thought of, as I said, tan with turquoise - the thought of putting
a little tan in with a lot of turquoise, might be just the thing to
raise the piece from dull to sparky?

iir here.
i cant see how this works other than to find the various colours that
others have put together to look nice to them
is there a way to fiddle the hues and tints on a particular set?
happy new year, Jenn.
