Everything Tastes Better Blended

As far as color pickers and color matchers go, ColorBlender has most of them beat.

Start by moving the sliders to choose your primary color in RGB values. The rest of the palette will be filled out with a “blend” of colors that’s calculated dynamically. You can then hone the colors individually or keep sliding to choose new blends. When you arrive at a mixture of colors that you like, you can save your values and access them in another session (as long as you have cookies enabled). You can also email the values, save them as a Photoshop ACT or an Illustrator EPS file.

ColorBlender is a truly fantastic tool for building complimentary palettes. Experiment and make something pretty!

Amazing Panoramas

40,000 pixels wide and 18,000 pixels tall (that 720 megapixels), made up of 169 individual photos shot over an hour-long period. The final image is 1.3 gigabytes in size. The detail is amazing, zoom in all the way and pan around — you’ll be stunned by the level of sharpness. You can even make out the bottles of wine on the tables at the seaside restaurants.
