Posted on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 @ 07:48 AM
For all color enthusiasts … and for all who shudder at the thought of picking a paint color that coordinates with your countertops … these tools will color your world.
Founded by Jessica Colaluca, Design Seeds® helps you create perfect color palettes (and, as a side benefit, you are bound to find some inspiration in Jessica’s beautiful imagery). You select a color of choice and Design Seeds will pull various complementary color palettes inspired by the world around us. You also can view Jessica’s recommended color combinations for evoking a specific feeling, such as “vintage” or “the sea.” In honor of the start of summer, here are a few warm weather palettes to help you get your breeze on, such as the one above.
A new color resource to hit the market is Chip It!™ by Sherwin-Williams. Chip It! lets you turn any image found online into a perfect palette, pulled from the company’s 1,500 paint colors. We had a bit of fun using Chip It! on formica.com – check out the paint colors it recommended to complement our IdealEdge™ home page.
Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t include a plug for our free Formica® eChip™ app for the iPad® that helps you find the perfect Formica® Brand Laminate, 180fx®, IdealEdge™, DecoMetal® and Formica® Solid Surfacing color or pattern.
