COLOR CHART - Scroll to bottom, or CLICK HERE


Website Color Picker: "...will help you evaluate color combinations quickly and easily. It works equally well on MacOS or Windows. ...You can experiment with different colors for BGCOLOR, TEXT color, LINK color and VLINK color. ...click a color swatch in the appropriate section of the left window and see the color applied immediately to the chosen attribute in the right window." 11/17/07

Color Blender: Another visual color-code-producing site. This one lets you select 2 colors from color swatches, then blend the two in however many steps you specify. It's a Creative Commons share site, so you can copy the source code to have the Color Blender page handy on your own hard drive. 11/17/07

Color Schemer / Design in Harmony: My recent LVSOnline teacher says, "This is one of my favorites. You can use it on the web for free and you download any of the hundreds of color schemes posted there. The software available for purchase is really nice in terms of flexibility and power. It has a 15 day free trial." ALSO: Here's their free "Color Schemer Online" site. 11/17/07

COLOR THEORY from the WEB DESIGN & REFERENCE GUIDE: This is an excellent site that explains a lot of things you really should think about when selecting color for your website. The article covers Websafe Palette, color definitions, and includes several links to color resources. 08/03/05

Color Theory for the Color-Blind: An article from the Digital Web Magazine. Includes information on what color blindness is, and then explores how a color blind person can still be a good webpage designer. "Being color-blind can be a real obstacle for anyone involved in design. For Web designers, this does not need to be true." 08/03/05

ColorCombo.com: See text and colors on different backgrounds, or select one of several color-palette options to view. For example, here's a link to their 400+colors-on-one-page chart. 03/09/02

Color Converters:

Font Colorizer: Free program that makes your text do this and supplies the lengthy HTML for it!

Visibone: easy to mix'n'match colors, gives HEX & RGB code

Visual List: Colors with HEX & RGB

Visibone: BROWSER-SAFE COLOR CHART (256) with HEX code given
