Color Nirvana with Adobe Kuler

Adobe Kuler officially ROCKS!

If you spend much time in the art, design, or photography worlds, you’ve probably already heard about this sexy little app. And if you’ve already played with Kuler, then you surely know what I’m talking about, because it probably sucked you into a world of infinitely customizable color nirvana and left you gasping with gratitude for those brilliant mad scientists at Adobe.

If working with colors in subtle yet powerful ways sounds interesting to you, and if you haven’t heard about Kuler yet, this just might change your life in a very kick@ss way.

To list a few of the supercool things about Kuler, it enables you to:

- view thousands of color palettes that are submitted and voted upon by members of the Kuler online community,
- view the more than 180,000 color palettes that are currently in the Kuler database, sorting them either by rank or by keywords,
- upload images and easily create custom color palettes,
- and best of all, you can easily import the color palettes into Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to supercharge your own creativity!

This video, from AdobeTV, provides a more detailed (6:34 long) description of the highlights of Kuler:

If you want to get even deeper into the world of Kuler, check out the stand-alone Kuler Air app called the Kuler Desktop (clicking this link will cause the app to automatically download to your default download location).

Now go get freaky with it!
