Adobe Kuler color palettes

Having a hard time finding a color scheme for your project? Head over to Kuler.
Kuler is a wonderful color palette tool created by Adobe for matching color schemes together. This is perfect for when your client isn't sure of what colors they want to use in their logo or website, and best of all: it's a web-based application.
Kuler allows you to create your own color scheme and fine tune it with built-in options. You can also browse palettes created by other users, rate them and comment on them. The best feature about Kuler (and the icing on the cake) is the ability to export the color palette you generated to a swatch file that can then be opened in Illustrator or Photoshop.
Kuler can be run as an online application or can be downloaded for the desktop with Adobe AIR.


Adobe Kuler is one of my favorite tools for designing. It has saved much time in trying to figure out what palettes to use, and has always been a great source of inspiration to try out new color schemes in my projects.

I hope you enjoy this tool as much as I have and that you'll make use of it when your next design mockup comes around. (Post your Kuler swatch in the comments?)

Cheers!
