put it on my web site for others to use, comment about, help me improve.
If you have coldfusion servers yourself, I am going to put it in the dev
gallery at Macromedia soon.
There are lots of colour development tools around, I know, but I got into
doing my own because all the tools I have known about use _javascript_ and the
scheme can't be saved. For example there's a great one at
http://www.pixy.cz/apps/barvy/index-en.html but if you click anywhere on
the page, or try to cut and paste the colour numbers, it changes the scheme
and you can't get back again easily. The only way to record the scheme you
work on so hard, is to get a pen and paper and write down all the colour
numbers.
So I started developing my own, so I can produce a chart for each site I'm
working on with the colours I've decided on for the site listed out. I've
put it on my web site and I'd really appreciate if you could go have a look,
and let me know if there's any way I can make it more useful, any features I
should add. My one uses no _javascript_ at all, and the form uses the GET
method, so you can email the URL and get the same results every time. You
can email the url once you're happy with the colours you've selected and the
receiver will see what you see as well.
You can use either the full HEX colour number (e.g. #3366CC) or the 3
character abbreviation (e.g. #36C) and you select the number of steps you
want between the first and last colour. It'll show you all the colours in
between the two and samples of text in the different colours. You might
also be interested to know there are no tables on this page - it's all done
with CSS2.

COLOUR not the American COLOR)
