Have you ever gotten completely stuck on a layout and needed something to inspire you into action? Bookmark these sites for the next time you are in a creativity slump. Just upload your dominant photo choice to see what color palette the handy online tool suggests!

• At the Color Explorer site you just click on “Import Colors From An Image” and it will take you to a page where you upload a JPEG or PNG file. After you pick some colors you can explore options on the “Color Matching” tab. Just select Complementary or Triadic to see what colors the tool suggests. I really like the suggestions “Split-Complementary” offers!
• Of course Adobe has a great online tool called “Kuler” that is supposed to be included in the new Adobe CS4. But those of us who don’t have that application suite can still enjoy the online Kuler community. Click “Create a Color” and once there you can choose to create from a color or from an image. It is a spiffy interface which also applies color theory to offer up palette suggestions.
• Color Palette Generator and Color Hunter are both sites which simply create a color palette for your picture but with less bells and whistles.
