Color Generation Technology for your Real Estate Blog
By Reggie · November 9, 2007
New real estate blogs join the blogosphere everyday, but unfortunately some really miss the boat with basic design elements. Often the design could be saved if the colors were updated to a more complimentary color palette. For example, say you download a beautiful WordPress or Blogger theme and then change out the header graphic with a local photo of your geographic area. But the new local photo is full of different colors. Now your blog’s CSS needs to be updated to reflect these new colors. How do you choose the perfect
hexadecimal color without being an expert? If you are off a few shades it can impact the total design.
BigHugeLabs comes to the rescue with its
free color pallet generator. This is one cool technology. You simply upload or paste a link to your main blog header photo, and BigHugeLabs returns 15 complimentary colors in hexadecimal format, with CSS for your blog (or Website, print design, home design etc.). If your photo is stored in Flickr or Photobucket, BigHugeLabs also has tools for pulling in the photo(s) for palette generation. If you have questions about editing your CSS, you may want to peak at this
CSS Cheatsheet.

What a great tool! Thanks for this, it’s much easier than eyeballing it with Photoshop/Fireworks. Although seeing exact matches for other projects I’ve worked on makes me feel good that I have an eye for color.
What a great program. This is going to come in extremely handy as I am in the middle of redesigning my website.
Thanks so much!
Ciao!
I’m glad you find the tool useful. I know it has helped me a few times pick the perfect color palette.
