Played about with colourlovers.com

Agents have been telling me for a while that I should have an online portfolio so clients can see the sort of web work I’m capable of, but up till now I haven’t really had any examples of what I’ve done still online, so I started designing one, and in working out the colour palette to use, I thought I should start tinkering with colourlovers.com. And what a cool site! The only thing it seems to lack is the ability to shift a shade to its nearest web-safe tone, but apart from that it’s a brilliant way to look at colours up close to each other and set up a palette for a site or another sort of design or whatever and save it for future reference… and download the palette for import straight into Photoshop or Illustrator or whatever’s swatches feature. Brilliant. I can see this being a very useful tool for years to come. It doesn’t like Safari though…
