Know Color, Get Picture

Every decent website that I see has a banner on the top. The problem is choosing a good photograph/picture for the banner that fits with the color scheme of your website.

The process of fixing this problem has started with Color Fields on Flickr. This enables people to shoot photos of a single color and tag it with the color. They can then list it on this group and people can search it.

The searching just became easier. Check out the Color Fields Colr Pickr at KrazyDad. It is an amazing tool. There are other color pickers for specific objects of a particular color, flowers or doors and windows, for example. Check them out at the links immediately below the color picker tool.

And if you want pictures with multiple colors in them (blue and yellow, for example), check out the Tiltomo (BETA) Image Search. Very well done.

Happy designing.
