When you are familiar with software applications such
as Adobe Photoshop, Flash and other drawing programs,
I know you are also very much familiar with the swatches.
Swatches contain selection of different colors that
you can use during the creation of your web design,
graphic design, and animation. Know what, we have a
new innovation in these swatches. This is the so-called
Color Blender.
According to the blog entitled “Color Blender”
which was posted by Neil last October 27, 2004 at www.eightlines.com,
the author mentioned that this Color Blender allows
you to take two colors and see blends of up to 10 different
ones from which you can get their HTML Hex codes.
How can you do it? It’s actually
as simple as 1-2-3. The following procedures were
also mentioned in the said article. First, you need
to pick a color value format, input two valid CSS
color values in the format you chose, and pick the
number of midpoints you'd like to see. During this
step, the palette will show the colors you input as
well as the requested number of midpoint colors and
the values of those colors. All numbers are rounded
to the nearest integer. When you click on a square
in the "waterfall" display, it will fill
in the appropriate value for whichever input is highlighted.
And, when you switch between value formats, it will
translate whatever values are in place. Clicking on
the "Clear" button removes all values and
colors, but does not change the current value format.
With this, graphic art professionals and web developers
can now experiment more in the color combinations
in their projects thus, making them more creative
and innovative in their line of work. I would like
to commend the programmers of this simple yet so important
program. More power!
