Yeah, that gives the HTML color codes, but no usage for them.
The problem is I'm a great fiddler/incremental changer. I hate
making 20 decisions though, I'd rather make 40 adjustments to 20
changes on a blank sheet of paper.
So I have 6 colors and 12 shades I want to use. Now I want a
program which takes them all and generates either a dark or light
sample page for me, and then allows me to export the css definitions
for that.
So on that page, when you click on the example, it pops up a
lightbox example of what a page might look like with those colors
assigned based on some algorythm,. It is that example page I want
the definitions for[or some app which will automatically assign
things for me and then let me modify]
Gary:
I work with colors all the time and use several tools.
For general colors:
http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html
http://www.ficml.org/jemimap/style/color/wheel.html
If I need to find complimentary colors to match a picture, I use this:
http://www.degraeve.com/color-palette/
To address accessibility concerns, I use:
http://webbytedd.com/c/access-color/
http://gmazzocato.altervista.org/colorwheel/wheel.php
http://www.lighthouse.org/accessibility/design/accessible-print-design/effective-color-contrast
To find palettes:
http://slayeroffice.com/tools/color_palette/
http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2008/01/16/free-advanced-dhtml-color-picker
For background colors and color ideas:
http://www.qgm.com/bgcolor.html
http://krazydad.com/colrpickr/
http://www.qgm.com/bgcolor.html
And finally, I don't know what system you're using, but I use Art
Director's Tool Kit application, namely;
http://www.code-line.com/software/artdirectorstoolkit5/
It's a great tool for picking up colors off the web (eyedropper).
