Guia de Cor

No seguimento do post anterior, roubei, literalmente, a lista seguinte de ferramentas de cor, como leituras de referência, geradores de paletes e esquemas, bla bla bla. A maioria senão todos os geradores disponiblilizam tantos codigos rgb, cmik e css #. Gosto muito do primeiro, simples e eficaz. Também há geradore de paletes a partir de fotografias, pode dar jeito. Ou então ferramentas online mais profícionais como o Adobe Kuler. Divirtam-se.

P.S. A lista está em inglês mas são quase duas da manhã e vou dormir.
