Color Trends Toolbar: my gift to you
Posted by cherished in Inspiration, Software/Tools, Web Design on August 22nd, 2009
As a designer, you know that there are probably millions of ways to arrange color palettes. Our environment is continually informing us of colors that best represent a slice of our humanity at any particular time. Technology, current events and philosophical beliefs are just some things that move and shape our color trends. Since following color trends is an ever changing, organic and creative process, there will never be one definitive resource on the matter. However, designers and manufacturers must stay on top of these patterns, to incorporate them, to respond to them or at least, just to be aware of them. In my efforts to stay on top of this ever changing and inspiring world of color, I have created a handy color trends toolbar to include quick and easy links to some of my favorite sites on COLOR.
(click to zoom)
As a special gift, I would love to share this very helpful color trend toolbar – “Cherish COLOR”.
- Designed for anyone who researches color and trends along with those who just love color and art
- Especially helpful for manufacturers, licensees and artists
- No risk, completely anonymous, no strings attached

- Color Mixing (Color Tools, Color Management and Color Software)
- Color Me Fun (+ Games)

- Internet Radio (Add your favorite stations)

- Plus customize it by adding many “gadgets” of your choice
Please feel free to contact me with any feedback. You are also free to share this free tool with any design professionals you know would benefit. Enjoy!
