ColorChooser App

ColorChooser offers the flexibility to create RGB and hexadecimals colors on-the-fly using the provided color wheel or by taking a photo from your iPod/iPhone’s camera. Other features:
  • Selection of colors or color schemes based on monochromatic, complementary, analogous, triad and tetrad groupings.
  • Gives numeric values for colors in RGB, hexidecimal.
  • Ability to customize your own color scheme, save, load unlimited scheme as well.
  • Can email a color scheme.
  • Will let you take a photo, or choose one from your library to grab a color sample while giving a numeric readout of it.

      A few features that should be included in the next release should be the ability to enter in values, or sample objects through the camera first—before taking a photo.

      Color from the Ordinary Made Into the Extraordinary: Fabian Oefner

      From motor oil to evaporated alcohol Fabian Oefner wields these materials as if they were ordinary pigments found on an artist's palette. Known for driving a Ferrari into a wind tunnel to splatter with neon paint, Hefner does't shrink from using unconventional materials to pursue his fixation  with color. Hefner's latest series “Photographic Paintings” was an outgrowth of observing the  oxidation  of  b ismuth that he had melted on a hotplate.

      Color

      Taking a more fine art approach, Color draws from past, and present art movements for aesthetic examples on basic color theory application.

My apprehension was truly misdirected and I've come to find that the concept of organizing visual images/links onto a virtual board has become a great teaching tool. After covering the typical graphic design topics such as typography, and history it was a natural move to include color among the related topics. So here is a link to my All Color Matters pinboard .
