What a cool tool!

I've been working on launching a new site for Make It From Scratch. It will be a new home for the carnival and blogroll. Plus it will have informative articles on building basic skills for cooking, sewing, crafts and more. I am really excited about it, and will let you know more details soon.

I've enlisted the help of a friend to help with the design of the page. She did an awesome job making a header for me, but I ran into a problem getting the rest of the page to match. I could not get color combinations that I liked with the header. Then I remembered a tool I had bookmarked some time ago and never used, the Color Palette Generator.

This a free tool. You enter a picture that you would like to match (the picture must have an url location,) and the tool generates the html colors that are in the picture. Here is a screen shot of the page using a picture of our hen and her new chicks.

If I was making a blog using that photo as a header, then I could plug in those color codes to make the background and font colors match. How cool is that?
