Have you ever looked at a photo, graphic, image and wish you could get the color information so you could use it again?

For instance, the graphic (one of) header I have has a group of colors that I enjoy and I continue to use.  How do you find it?  There are numerous ways on the web to get this information, I’m going to give you just one at this moment.

Pic2Color is a site that is currently in Beta (that’s what it says) and gives you the ability to find colors that match/or closely match that of a photo, grouping of colors, or even a website (not available yet).

You can even get their widget and have it on your own site, which I’ve done under the “Web Stuff” page for you to use anytime you wish.

Here’s an example of what it can do.  I used one of my own banners and entered the URL into the widget.  When it translated the information into colors (HEX) I made a print screen of it.  This is only to show you what information it gives off of a URL to a photo.  You can test it yourself to see what it does.  You click on each color and it will translate the color into HEX for you.  The information (bubbles, printscreen etc.) was done by me for you to see what information I can get form it.  I use “SnagIt” screen capture software ~ and can’t live without it btw.

This is most certainly not a paid ad.  I’ve gotten emails regarding color schemes as of late, and I thought this might be useful to those playin’ around with designs.

Have fun!
