totally legendary web applications

Hardly a day goes by without me using this awesome web application. Out of the ever amazing Adobe Labs, comes Kuler - a color choosing, creating, designing, modifying, mixing, matching web application that makes choosing a color scheme easy - even if you’re slightly colorblind ;)

kuler is the first web-hosted application from Adobe Labs designed both to stand alone and to complement Adobe® Creative Suite® software. Built using Adobe® Flash® and ActionScript 3.0, kuler is all about color: color for exploration, inspiration, experimentation and sharing.

One of my favorite examples of how Flash is becoming more & more dynamic day, Kuler is a fully database driven Flash site that allows you to create your own color scheme, search for schemes (using hex colors, words, phrases…anything), modify an existing theme… just about anything. You can even pick a color hex from a logo of a site that you’re working with, drop it into Kuler’s create panel and presto, you have a color scheme based on the color you just inserted. Awesome stuff.

Additionally, thanks to the joys of the Apollo framework, you can download Kuler as a desktop application. PLUS!… you can also grab an RSS feed of the most popular or highest rated schemes. Beautiful.

After all those ‘®’s, let me finish off by commenting again on the usefulness of this application for any element of design, be it graphic, web, on or offline, this latest Adobe Labs creation is a definately legendary web application.
