Color matching link? braincast.nl,marc,marc, 020705 16:18
Some time ago either milo or another website had a link to a website where you could find colors that looked nice together.

I'm trying to make a tool for a friend of mine which will enable him to find a pallete of nice looking colors. Does anybody know where to find perhaps a routine/source code that does this?

thx!

were you referring to this?

...not really much of an algorithm. picks two random colours and calculates inbetween colour values, with occasional random variation.

Urhm.. well I have seen that one and I think it's pretty good! But I'm actualy looking for something like: http://www.easyrgb.com/harmonies.php

I have been trying to figure out how they did it, but well... maybe someone knows and has the algorithm ready on the shelf...

This thread was very interesting indeed. This whole question of what colors look "good" together ... It can be determined mathematically/scientifically, clearly -- but then there is the human/intuitive element!

Milov, I like your random-color piece quite a bit; the only problem I have with it is the way the squares flash out at one -- a splashy effect, but hard on the eyes! Also -- if I were going to use it to generate color swatches for a design project, I'd want it to hold still in between sets.

to get colours that look nice together, you just use a circlepicker, but only change one value- eg same brightness and hue, different saturation, or same brighness and saturation, different hue.
