Dont know if many of you have come across this already, but though I would share anyway.

Its a colour scheme generator with a few useful bits and bobs bolted on, you can have a look at a mock page with your chosen scheme on, change hue and brightness, saturation etc, then get all the hex values, it has an export feature for grabbing your chosen scheme, it even has a simulator for how the scheme looks to people with varying sight problems.

Its pretty good does have a few flaws but generally quite useful. Have a look and see what you think.

I took a look at the colour scheme chooser you posted a link to. I wasn't much for the tool itself but I did like the way it gave you a page preview.

For web designers something like this tool would probably be more useful http://www.colorsche...com/online.html as it gives you all the HEX web colour values as well as the RGB values for Photoshop users.

The scheme chooser i posted is aimed at web designers, and it also gives Hex and RGB for the schemes. it also has far more features. but thanks for the link some may find it useful.

Thanks for the link

Where this one scores over others I've seen is the export options e.g. ACO (Photoshop palette)
