Adobe Kuler is a free web hosted application for generating color schemes! I stumbled upon this excellent resource and have found it to be quite useful. It is the perfect place to browse when you need color inspiration, new themes, popular trends, and specific color matching.

Kuler also has an option to create a color scheme from a personal photo. I uploaded a photo and am able to manipulate the color selection and create the exact scheme that I want. There are also options to create color schemes using the color wheel. By simply moving the ruler bar you can change the theme using analogous colors, monochromatic, triad, complementary, compound, shades, and custom.

I personally love this feature, it is so easy to select a color and then change the layout according to the different rules. If you are starting a new project and need some inspiration check out Kuler! This is the perfect site to compile your visual ambitions and actually get to see them put together.
