    I’m sorry but as a designer i don’t need to be told what colours to use together. I am creative enough and know a thing or two about colours and design.

    So I would not class these tools as designers tools but rather for people with no design knowledge who want to pretend to be a designer, or someone working on their own site who has not done any design before.

    This list of resources is great, but what I would really love to get is a book of color schemes and palettes.

    I cant seem to find any (good ones) online. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Very nice list of color charts. It is almost like wedding photography where color matters a lot.
