One of my favorite tools for picking colors

While some of us may be experts at deciding which paint to pick at a hardware store or even what color to make a font on a cover letter, I am truly lost. Then our friends at Adobe came out with this amazing little web app called Kuler. What is Kuler? Well, it is simply an app that lets you pick a primary color and find other colors that go with it. It is also a fantastic way to teach the different types of color relations on the color wheel.

So now you never have an excuse for what set of colors to paint that two-tone bathroom or why orange and blue are the perfect triadic colors for the University of Florida.

There is also a great crowdsourcing tool called Pulse that allows you to see what are the popular colors from around the world that are downloaded. This is a great example of learning more about your surroundings via a social network.
