COLOURlovers.com - The Latest Idea

********* Update 12.17.04 ******
Adding new colour scripts is complete along with the ability to edit your colours in your profile area. Side bar is now dynamic and colour details page is 90% complete.

********* Update 12.16.04 ******
I’ve added the mock-up for the side nav of colours.

Well nobody gets what this is without a pretty long explanation, but hopefully after it gets completed it will be easy to figure out.

The basic idea is to merge, hotornot.com with deviantart.com - but it’s only a rating showcase for colors…

…Like you would submit a new color with the hex codes, a summary of what you used the color for, where you got your inspiration…

Other people browse the color swatches and rate what colors are hot.

You can also put a few of your submitted colors into a pallete. say you used 3 colors for a design and really liked the combination. you would enter in all 3 colors then link them.

The idea is to create a color resource for designers, to see what colors are “in”, new, work well with other colors… a color inspiration place.
