Different palettes

19 January 2009 Filed Under: Technique:Design

Playing around with two online palette generators today, I was reminded how we all see colour differently. The first palette in each set was generated via the Big Huge Labs Palette Generator. The second palette was created via www.degraeve.com. Neither generator seems very adept at picking up the ‘zing’ colours that quilters love but it’s still fun to see what they come up with.

    Thanks for pointing out those two neat places to generate colors. I did two posts on Adobe’s Kuler – you can see here: http://needlemarket.com/quiltedmoments/?p=570

    and here:

    It’s another fun place to play.

    Thanks Di. Kuler doesn’t seem quite so random as the other palette generators and I like how you can customise to add in the zingers. I’ll show some images for comparison purposes in my next post.
