ColourLovers – Explore Color Palettes and Patterns
History: Created in 2004, it was a pioneer in web-based tools for color exploration and community-driven design resources.
Functionality: A social platform where users can create, share, and browse color palettes and patterns. It provides tools to generate harmonious color schemes, which can be exported for use in other design programs. It’s a foundational tool for many designers starting a project.
Future Plans: The site is a great but largely stable resource, with its core functionality remaining the focus.
