Verdict: Good tool for sourcing, extracting and managing a colour palette for web or literature design

System Requirements:

Web design is much like interior design. You browse magazines, see various homes for inspiration, collect colours and themes you’d like in your new home and then implement. Web design is similar. We spend our time sourcing inspiration from various online resources and then mix and match until we produce something that suits our requirements.

Working with colour is more tricky. With interior design, you can simply collect samples of the colours, patterns and wallpaper you require. With web design, you can only reference particular sites and then hope your designer understands how to extract the colours required. Also, they may need to source colours from your logo, stationary and other items, to make a colour palette required for your site.

ColorCache is a tool that you can use to pick, extract and store colours in an offline palette that can be used to produce your own web graphics, literature or documents that require colour. You can mix up colours you’ve sourced from different locations and finalise a selection of colours from these sources.
