What Color Is Malachite?

Get palette ideas from sites like GenoPal, generate color schemes with tools like Unsafe Color Match, put a color in and spit a palette out with Color Blender, or sharpen your color theory skills with The Meaning of Colours. These are all from the 50 Best Color Sites for Designers.

I was surprised not to see ColorBrewer on that list. It's more cartography-focused, but usable for other things as well.

I don't think I need 50 color sites, but the few I looked at seem useful. I do wish some of them would work a little more on the site designs and UIs, though.
