Choose the right colour scheme!

Posted on Jan 15th, 20104 comments

Each colour states a different emotion and is associated to the viewer’s personal experience. Create a colour palette for your branding to use in your online and print advertising. Here are some free online colour tools we use in the QMG studio.


Colour Kurler

An easy to use colour tool to create custom colour themes or browse through other people's themes.

Start creating your theme by stating the HSC, RGB, CMYK, LAB or HEX value of your base colour or upload a photo. Create analogous, monochromatic, triad, complementary, compound, shades or custom palettes. Register to save your schemes with the option to make them public for others to rate. Find some more useful info about the kuler and colour theory in the "Links" section.

This colour tool is a bit more simple. State the RGB or HEX value of your colour or choose one from the colour pallet on the bottom to start with. There are the options to lighten or darken the scheme. Click on one of the colours in the scheme to select a different base colour.
