I'll write how to use the cooler program to find palettes based on available colors . We will need paint or photoshop and the kuler program itself http://kuler.adobe.com

For example, I'll take my eye color.

1) Open the photo in Paint or Photoshop and use the eyedropper tool to select the desired color.
NB Many people have multi-colored eyes, try to choose the average one, or choose the one that dominates.

2. Open the palette. There will be given coordinates of the resulting color. CMYK or RGB . Choose any of them and remember.

On the computer I'm on now, old version paint. RGB is red green blue - the ratio of red, green and blue in color. I have R =38, G=57, B=51

4. Now let's look at the remaining schemes. When choosing a word monochromatic you will get a related scheme - one color with different brightness and lightness. (You can read about a related (monochrome) scheme)

5. When choosing shades There will be variations only in darkness, the brightness will not change.

6. We really need it complementary - allows you to find opposite (complementary) colors. (information about the complementary scheme)
NB The cooler produces dark and light colors randomly, it is important to remember that colors that are strictly complementary to each other do not differ in darkness . So a compliment for my eye color is the rightmost square.

7. No less interesting, providing the basis for expanding palettes - triad - allows you to create equidistant (triadic) circuits. (or you can read about the triadic scheme)

8. To recreate the colors obtained in the cooler in the paint and Photoshop tables, you just need to look at the color coordinates in the cooler (as you can see, there is a sign under each color) and enter them into your palette graphic editor, and then fill the table square with them =)

All of us love these pictures to some extent. Some more, some less.

An intriguing start, isn't it? What am I talking about? Here's what it's about:

And now, I think, I’m probably not the only one who had a crazy thought in my skull: “I wish I could arrange my picture by color!”

You never know why...

Using the free program "Adobe Kuler" "new name "Adobe Color CC it's easy to do.

Its main benefit is that you can upload your image - be it a picture, be it a photograph, and it (that is, the program) will break down the picture for you into 5 primary colors.

Question - Why do I actually need this?

Answer 1 - Situation - The work has been sold, there are no such materials in nature anymore, but there was a desire to repeat the atmosphere. Let's sort it by color and create approximately what you need.

Answer 2 - The customer asks to create something based on a photo from a magazine, the Internet, etc. It’s not clear what they’re made of, but here they are – the primary colors – and the work went smoothly!

Answer 3 - There is a Photo of you or the Customer, which is not about the work at all, but there is such beauty on it that you want to reproduce it from the same colors and then we will get something filled with the same exciting moments as there... in that blue dream .. Oh!..

4. FOR DECOUPAGE - SIMPLY A TREASURE, IT’S EASY AND SIMPLE TO CHOOSE THE COLOR ACCORDING TO THE MAIN PICTURE!

Convinced? No, well, at least just to see what kind of program it is?

Yeah! Moreover, it’s just a couple of clicks away!

A red checkmark marks where we need it, select the second item - “Create images” and then everything is as simple as a steamed turnip - we load our picture and the program itself parses it for us into five primary colors.

Example:

Moreover, the plus signs in the circles select the colors that the program considered necessary to show you, and these circles can be moved and then you can change the final five colors at your discretion and, for example, change one according to your need.

Let's say like this:

It is clear that you can change all five plus signs at will and then you simply choose the five desired colors.

In the forums discussing this program, some users complained that five colors weren’t enough for me...
But the program gives you and me a lot of options to choose from after uploading a specific photo.
If we take a closer look at what was offered to us, we will see:

In the highlighted circle, I added an additional tab that opens when you hover the mouse and there you can select the appropriate color mood for the photo:

Colorful
- bright
- muted
- rich
- dark
- free

The default is custom. But here’s how the picture changes when, say, the “colorful” palette changes to, for example, a muted one:

Colorful:

Muted:

Thus, the required number of colors used in your picture changes significantly and then the program offers you to save the whole thing.

But you can save only with your registration code, which I don’t have - I’m not registered in the Adobe program .. so what? .. And nothing - there is a standard Microsoft desktop tool “Scissors” - we use them to cut out what we need and either then we print out the palette, or collage it and rush at full speed to the materials store in order to buy what we wanted today!

Let's give an example on some Internet image:

Or here's my own abstract picture:

Friends! Thank you so much for your time.

I hope this find will be useful to you and I have no doubt that an inquisitive handicraft mind will find a use for it, if it hasn’t already (as you read)!

Quite a lot of people already know it, but for those who are hearing about this service for the first time, this post is for you.

Adobe Kuler is a color mixer with the ability to create, edit, export various color palettes that can be used in programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

Perhaps many of you have already encountered the problem of choosing the right color palette for your project. In this case, you can use this interesting tool.

In addition to creating your own color palettes, Adobe Kuler provides the ability to use already created palettes. They are located in the "Explore" section. There you can sort them by popularity, etc.

“Explore” section of the Kuler online service

To take advantage of all the features of the service, registration is required; fortunately, it is free. Enough to have account(Adobe ID) on adobe.com.

When working in Adobe Photoshop, you can also use the Kuler extension. IN latest versions Adobe Photoshop is present by default. You can enable it via Window -> Extensions -> Kuler. (Window -> Extensions -> Kuler).

This is what the window of this extension looks like in Adobe Photoshop:

Adobe Kuler Window in Photoshop

There are a lot of tools similar to Adobe Kuler. There are also online services and desktop programs that you can download and install on your computer.

The advantage of Kuler over desktop versions is ease of use. Even if you have to reinstall operating system on your computer, you don't have to worry that the created color palettes will disappear, and they will be saved in your account on Adobe.com.

I hope that this note will add another tool to your arsenal of useful services for creating your projects.
