There are so many color palette generators out there right now, I thought I’d round some of them up for you for a quick overview. I was going to rate them, but really, go with what works best for you. If you know some other good ones, feel free to post them!

Posted in quasi-alphabetical order:

• 4096 Color Wheel. Web-safe and web-smart color palettes.
• Accessibility Color Wheel: Helps determing which color contrasts work best for legibilty. Based on the above.
• ChromoWeb: Color harmony from the 216 color web palette.
• ColorBlender.com: Standard palette picker, can save palettes for later use.
• Colorcell: “Colorcell wants to find the most popular color combinations.”
• ColorCombos: Palette picker with combination directory.
• COLOURlovers: Color-based community. Give colors and palettes names, rate them, share them. save them for later. My favorite!
• ColorMatch Redux: Nice and compact, with sliders.
• Color Palette Generator: Lets you provide a photo from which a palette is generated.
• Color Scheme Chooser: Feels a bit like an application, if that’s your thing.
• Color Schemes Generator 2: Uses a chromatic wheel, generates links to your palettes.
• Color Schemer: I like to use this one a lot, lets you “wander” by clicking colors for new combinations based on them.
• ColorWhore: “A directory of nice colors”. Nice concept, goes by “greys, reds, etc.”
• colr.org: Playful approach, lets you provide a photo.
