Forget Pantone

Pantone makes a FORTUNE each year by mixing up brilliant colors and pairing them in even better combinations. And that's terrific! We look to Pantone for a perfect match when it matters. Plus, they shape our seasonal palettes.

Have you ever noticed the price tag associated with the Pantone name? Ouch. Sometimes, you just want to stick it to the man, you know? And that's where one of my favorite websites, COLOURlovers.com, comes into the mix...pun intended.
COLOURlovers is a creative community where people from around the world create and share, colors, palettes, and patterns, discuss the latest trends and explore colorful articles... All in the spirit of love. Yep. Pulled that straight from their website.

You can search through beautiful palettes,
check out amazing patterns,
 and just plain get inspired.
Try it out and see what you think...in all that copious amounts of free time you have ;)

  1. This is great--what a fun looking site. Have you ever tried Adobe's site, Kuler? Right now they are down for maintenance, but you have to check them out later if you haven't already. They are a great resource for downloading palettes. http://kuler.adobe.com/#
