Adobe color cc

I found this tool easy to use, and enjoyed creating a colour palette from some of my work. It enables you to filter the colour palette in different ways as seen in the examples below. I think this will definitely be useful when I am selecting colours from images.

Muted colours from ‘The birth of Venus’
Muted colours from a photograph of glass objects
Bright colours from ‘The birth of Venus’

Mudcube colour sphere

I played around with this tool creating colour schemes from one starting colour. There is ample scope with this to create all sorts of interesting colour combinations, but I’m not sure if I will use it.

Color Halipixel

I found this tool more intuitive with quick easy colour palettes from a starting colour, presented in stripes. I think I would use this tool to spark colour ideas and to look for different interesting colourways.

CoLRD

This tool was fun to use and I found I could make pixelated versions of images as well as colour palettes. Because it produces lots of colours from the image I think this will be really useful.
