As promised before [Logo Colors: Use Responsibly], I am suggesting you these 10 Best Online Tools to work with Color. These 10 tools are free and very useful, every designer should have them bookmarked. Using these tools let’s you easily choose right colors for almost every designing sphere – starting from Web design up to Indoor design. Some of them allow picture upload which makes it easier to acquire raw color data from the image.

All this can be done manually of course, but why waste time and nerves? Plus, some of these tools suggest you the right color palette for any project. Basing on these theoretical suggestions it is much easier to decide on what color scheme to use here and there.

Usually, I rely on my mind and creative thinking. But to do it more professionally, I check it with tools to get computerized approval. I’m not too good with the theory.

Let’s get it on.
