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!
