If you have ever been frustrated trying to find just the right color for a webpage or image you are working on, these next couple of links are for you.

I found an excellent FREE Advanced HTML Color Picker which is pretty amazing. It lets you add a small icon or text link to the website so that you can see right off the bat if the color you are picking is good. A small unobtrusive box opens up with sliders and such that let you change the colors, and you can see the color changing before your eyes. Great little app, and easy to install into you webpage.

A couple of other posts from ColourLovers.com that I found usefull are : 32 Common Color Names for Easy Reference and Ultimate HTML Color Hex Code List.

After digging into the site a bit, besides the post links above, I believe ColourLovers.com is an all round excellent resource for choosing colors. They let there users create Color Palettes and Patterns and even provide you downloads in several different formats (PS, HTML, etc.) If you click on a Color Palette for example a page will load up showing you the particular Color Palette, and then breaks down each color with HEX and RGB code. This site is great. You could find a nice Palette and have all the HEX and RGB codes you need to make up a website with.

I made a small Web Safe Colors page myself a long long time ago which I would keep on my desk when ever I was developing a website.
