Do you come across web and blog templates or themes that are ideal layout wise but the colors do not suit you or your site’s purpose. These are relatively easy to change via a templates CSS style sheet but you may need some help choosing the correct color combinations. There are numerous free online tools to help in your decision, so many that it can take time just choosing which tool to choose. Rather than creating a long list of what is available I have chosen a selection of a variety of the more comprehensive but easy to use free tools:
Mimicry is the highest form of flattery
If you are short on ideas, or are just unsure what other colors you can add to those you already like, browsing other websites can be useful but time consuming. Screenalicious, which showcases websites, also displays the color palettes off each featured site, along with the corresponding hexadecimal numbers.
If you have seen a website whose colors you like but are having trouble reproducing them I Like Your Colors will tell you exactly what they are. Simply type in the site URL and you will be given a graphical representation of the colors and their numbers. Here are the results from the Mashable site:
The Firefox Addin Colorzilla not only provides an eye dropper and a color picker tool but allows you to analyze and save a color palette of any webpage.

Color Palette Generators
Then there are the many color palette generators. A few stand out from the crowd with regard to features and ease of use:
Adobe Kuler allows you to explore and vote on color schemes created by others as well as create, save and share your own. You can generate a color theme from scratch or use colors from an uploaded image or from Flickr. If you are not feeling creative you can choose from the gallery of user created schemes.Your swatches can be downloaded as Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ase) files for use in Adobe CS (2,3 and 4) programs. Kuler is integrated into CS4. If you do not have these Adobe products an Adobe Air application, Color Browser, allows you to import and save downloaded .ase files to.organize your favorite color palettes locally.
Color Lovers offers simple and more advanced color palette creation tools; although I find the simple tool harder as it offers no suggestions as to color combinations. As with Kuler you can browse and search for user contributed color palettes and use these yourself. Color lovers provides a whole host of other features to help you with your creations. Vote on the user created palettes and patterns and submit your own. View a showcase of websites to keep up with color trends. Connect with others via forums and groups. Follow their colorful blog. Proclaim your love of Color Llovers to the world by purchasing their T shirts.
Aviary Toucan allows you to create a color palette from scratch or choose colors from imported images (from Flickr, Facebook, Picassa, by URL or from your computer). A “color deficiency preview” shows you how a color palette will appear to those with various different kinds of color blindness.
Color Jack has two tools, Color Sphere and Color Studio, providing you with plenty of ideas and suggestions as well as catering for your own creativity. Export your creations to a bookmark, delicious, illustrator, photoshop or to a URL.
Colors On The Web has 3 basic color tools and mixers as well as articles covering color theory, color terms, combining colors and contrast..
Absolute Color Picker is a free downloadable program that lets you select and pick colors using various color models. It also features a color picker, color scheme generator, color history builder, color scheme management system, screen color grabber (eyedropper)
If you just prefer to choose from existing color palettes rather than create your own there are a number of sites, in addition to those mentioned above, that offer listings with search capabilities including:
- ColorCombos – they also have a tool to “grab” colors other websites.
- Colors on the Web.
- Color Schemer Gallery The Color Schemer products are not free but you can use their gallery and forums without buying..
- Color Hunter is different in that its user created palettes come from uploaded images and its tags are based on the type of image as well as colors.
Yet more tools
Your header image needs to be in line with the other colors on your site. You may have an image already chosen and then base your other colors on this. If not, Idea Labs clever MultiColr Search Lab can help you choose images using colors you have already decided on or just give you ideas for an overall color palette This tool searches through 10 million Flickr Creative Commons images based on your choice of up to 10 colors. They also provide other tools which search the Alamy stock photo site.
Google have very recently integrated color search tools into their Image Search. You are able to filter Google images by the predominant color. Click on “All colors” above the search results and you can choose one of the 12 available colors based on your search terms. For example this was a result of a search for beach sunset filtered by the color pink:
To ensure accessibility for those who cannot distinguish colors easily there are tools to check for legibility and contrast on your site. In addition to the Color Deficiency Preview tool in Toucan, ColorSelector is free desktop software from Fujitsu for judging the legibility of background and text colors. The online tool, Color Accessibility Wheel, shows you how a background and a foreground color will look to those with three types of color blindness, based on colors you choose.
You may not be interested in whole palettes of colors but just want to know the details of one particular color you see online. Eyedropper tools are the simplest way to accomplish this.
- Instant Color Picker is free to use on one machine, with nag screens, or to buy. More than a basic color picker, this tool allows you to zoom in on websites, save up to 20 colors and copy color swatches as bitmap and paste it to other applications. You can also test color combinations using various layouts.
- My trusty favorite program MWSnap is a screen capture tool which includes a color grabber and measuring tool.
- If these are more than you need try the more color grab only ColorSelector for PC or Mac from Fujitsu or ColorPic
Finally, for WordPress users the Theme Tweaker plugin displays the existing colors from your current theme, and gives you a color picker to replace them. You can also change colors in bulk by for example inverting them, converting them to greyscale.. Once you have chosen your colors, you can preview or activate the new theme. You can save your new stylesheet locally and then upload to your blog server to replace your current theme or create a child theme.
There are a whole host of Firefox addins that will help you with your site colors which I will cover in my next post.
You now have the tools at your disposal to choose your site colors but may not have the know how to implement them into your theme. In upcoming posts I will provide you with instructions and details of tutorials and tools you can use to help you with your CSS stylesheet coding.

Awesome tools. I’m going to go through all of these – and see what I might benefit from! Thanks for sharing!
I agree with you man! I too think that these color tools are really useful. Find the lists really interesting.
cool stuff. how come you don’t use any colors for your blog? o_O

I think shes going for simplicity, as its the greatest form of sophistication

Yea I agree, Sue’s blog looks wonderful the way it is.

The screenlicious is a pretty awesome concept, I am wondering though… by the looks of it, they link out to a website, on the site’s page for their screenshot, so I wonder if that link is good for seo terms.. hehe Just wondering anyways lol.
Till then,

My understanding with screenlicious is that it should be used to gather ideas and find good color palettes.

Awesome, I needed this inspiration
I have been using color schemer when I am working on changing colors – comes in handy for hex numbers. But, I am definitely going to be checking the rest of these out as well!
I agree. This is a great list. This list deserves to be on Digg.

When it come to colors, I am not good at them at all but now I think this post is going to help me out of my problem. Colors of a site of mine are alright in Internet Explorer but in FireFox it doesn’t show the right colors, I wonder why?
IE allows web programming that other web browsers do not show properly. You might consider the following W3 standards tools to determine whether your site is compatible with all web browsers: http://www.w3.org/QA/Tools/
Minnesota Attorneys last blog post..Minnesota Personal Injury Law: Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Yes you are right about ir because I changed a color according to the standards of other browsers and it is working fine now. I’ll do it for other colors also.
SEO Link Directoriess last blog post..Long Time
IE is funny that way. You would think that such a mainstream browser would follow the standards, but I guess they have elected their own “standards.”
Minnesota Attorneys last blog post..Minnesota Personal Injury Law: Uninsured Motorist Coverage
I am personally of the opinion that a blog should only use 5 basic colors.
1. Highlighter Yellow
2. Lime Green
3. Neon Orange
4. Electric Blue
5. Hot Pink
This is a topic near and dear to my heart because I just spent the past WEEK tweaking colors at htpt://www.virtual-coach.com/forums/ .
I also had fun with http://www.gpeters.com/color/color-schemes.php too.
It’s amazing how colors can impact one’s site!

This is a great list of tools. I use the ColorZilla plugin for FireFox, which works great.
Minnesota Attorneys last blog post..Minnesota Personal Injury Law: Uninsured Motorist Coverage
:’(
Oh … I remember when I could use ColorZilla. That was until it stopped working with Firefox. I have Firefox 3.5 and after installing the updated ColorZilla add-on (2.0 I think), I cannot even find it on my computer anymore. It just doesn’t work. Any suggestions for another tool that includes an eyedropper besides ColorZilla. Thanks.
I used to love colorzilla too, it’s too bad it doesn’t work anymore.

You given great Color Tool for Blog, very useful to explorer your blog thx for sharing useful tool.
It is very nice tool to make your blog more attractive.
I want to post a new blog entry, but the rich text editor tool-bar that allows me to change font, font-size, font-color, justification, etc. is gone! How do I get it back?
I need a tool so I can easily copy and “borrow” other people’s color schemes. I struggle to match my socks and my shirt each day!
@Chris, just use Firefox, there is a great plugin called ColorZilla, you just use an eyedropper and you can copy the colors that websites use.
Hope that helps!

I found a great color picker Firefox extension called Colorzilla. With it you can get a color reading from any point in your browse. Just click on the little icon in your browser to activate it and click again when it’s over the color you want the html code for. I love it.

Color is extremely important as you want the psychology of the eyes to maintain a focus on the page. And color helps to maintain that focus. If you have the wrong color scheme your visitor will likely leave sooner. Also do not put any distracting links on your page as that is obviously pointless!

Beautiful blog, I can not wait for new articles….
“Mimicry is the highest form of flattery”
I’m kinda concerned about using this one for my blog. How do other people feel if their personalized color palettes were imitated?
This is done all the time. Have you ever noticed that two blogs have the same color palette?
.-= Minnesota Attorney´s last blog ..Minnesota Small Business Attorney =-.
If your blog is entirely different from the one whose colors you are mimicking, I see no reason why using the same color palette would be improper.
“There are numerous free online tools to help in your decision, so many that it can take time just choosing which tool to choose.”
The high number of blogging tools these days is sometimes not helpful. One has to be picky as not all of them provide quality services.
“If you have seen a website whose colors you like but are having trouble reproducing them I Like Your Colors will tell you exactly what they are.”

Personally speaking I think a blog’s colors should match or compliment the website its representing to a certain degree.
Way back in the beginning of web design it was considered chic to have different colors and layouts for each web page within a web site.
Now a days its frowned upon and keeping a uniform theme through out the website is expected.
same concept should apply to website blogs, IMHO.

I agree that colors are very important , and choosing the right colors combination for your website is elementary.
In feng shui colors take a very important element. Each color has it’s energy and creates a different effect. When choosing a color theme for your website, it’s not enough to have the colors combine together. If you think of the concept of your website and what you want the surfers to feel when surfing in your website, and then you choose your colors accordingly, it will definitely enhance the effect and efficiency of your website.

Wow. Really beautiful and useful tools. I usually like the green theme. The vehicle will be easier to ensure compliance with the colors. Incompatible colors of visitors go to the not very pleasant.
Useful programs, thank you!
Colors are really useful making something much better even it is so ugly. Nice resources here!

What a great tool. All these color tools are really useful to integrate Google adsense in a blog. It’s really hard for us to find a suitable color just to blend the color of the ads to the template of the blogs. I do also tweaking the code template of the blog like blogger templates and change it’s color, in order to put the color that you like we need such color tools to generate the hexadecimal color code and use it to replace the older one.
