Title: Color Charts - Complimentary colors
Post by: SeanBK on January 05, 2009, 10:20:09 am

Sometime back, I saw a site where they have a list/samples of complimentary color to be used by various graphic designers that showed details of latest palettes of colors. Can anyone help me as I just can't recall where I saw it? I know it was thru' L-L I came across it first.  
   I use CS3 but that that does not give/list complimentary colors.

Are you talking about one of these color generating sites.

The Adobe one is accessible directly from CS4 under Windows>Extensions.

 I believe it was Kuler I was refering to, but any more suggestions like that would be immensly helpful. That damn old age & memory, I believe I have hit my buffer.  
   Thank you, I appreciate your quick response, Have a great New Year.
