Neat color selector

Color Synth Axis - Useful if you work with color on the web. You'll want to read the manual.

On second thought this would be useful if you work with color in any field/capacity.

Wow. The manual (here, perhaps?) is a must, but it is a great tool. Thanks!

Freaky that these are the colours of the post-its on my desk. (after playing with the squares and clicking the top-left-corner button)

Neat Neat Neat.

I can't get past the first level but the gameplay is magnificent.

This is very cool. I may almost be smart enough to make some use of this. You are right about the manual.

On a related note, what are the general preferences for referring to colors these days? Hex or RGB? I'm including color details in a set of metadata files about new spatial data my office is publishing and want to make it as clear as possible. So, of course, I will probably use both.

Ohboyohboyohboy.

Mr. Dobbs, you are probably my favourite Post Dude. If you don't mind being called dude, that is.

I find this to be really useful. Two thumbs up.

Well there you go. Another amazing colour site to while away the hours at work, looking for that perfect combination for the corporate intranet!

Thanks!

Seeing this tool makes me want to drop this silly "graduate school in physics" thing and become a graphic designer.
