1. Re: What about an eyedropper to create a base color
Lydia_Varmazis Nov 28, 2006 7:05 PM (in response to CShockr)Hi There,
Thanks for the suggestion regarding the eye dropper and a color image. We like this idea as well. Could you provide some additional insight on how you would like to see mix inks integrated with kuler? Why combine colors before selecting a base?
As an FYI, Chris is a great contributer to the kuler talk forum and we thank him for his on-going contribution. However, he is not part of the kuler development team.
The kuler team is Sami Iwata, Community Manager, Tim Strickland, Senior Computer Scientist and myself, Group Manager and whole lot of friends.
Cheers,

2. What about an eyedropper to create a base color
CShockr Nov 29, 2006 7:31 PM (in response to Lydia_Varmazis)InDesign's Mixed Ink Swatches really opens my students' eyes to the potential of designing with just 2 spot colors (which happens a lot in graphic design). However, finding a great mix color and then sorting through all of the swatches for accents and secondary colors can be overwhelming for beginning design students. What would be great is to mix inks, select a base color and then use the mixed base color to generate the accent and secondary colors using kuler and the rest of the mixed ink swatches.
Another idea along the same lines would be to generate "color swatches from image" along the lines of Corel Painter and allow people to save that out as a Swatch Exchange Palette.
Ooops...sorry about that! Chris ranks with the ubergods on the Photoshop Forum and has saved my bacon on more than one occasion...

I am really looking forward to using this tool both in Color Theory and in my Production Design and Electronic Prepress classes. My faculty are also evaluating it for use in Flash and Dreamweaver. Thank you so much for a very "kule" tool!
