Red Alt - I Like Your Colors
Red Alt - I Like Your Colors is a very cool tool that tells you the colors of a website you like. Lovely! Now if there was a website to give me talent to design with color!
I've actually been thinking a bit lately about the use of color in online interaction spaces. I've written before on how I've "segmented" spaces in online discussion boards using different background colors. I wonder what would be the impact of varied background colors in blog posts as an organizational/taxonomy (coloronomy) of the content? Of my mood as I wrote a blog post. What color would this post be? A cool spring green? Rain blue?

What about those who are challenged by the colours - partially sighted or colour blind? May be a bit of a nightmare for them!
Exactly, Eve, thinking of color in terms of how it is perceived is really important. I am working with a client now and we struggle with this - they have a strong aesthetic they want to achieve, but I worry about color blind readers (and the fact that there are a variety of color blind perception patterns which makes it even more interesting.)
