3 Essential Web Colour Tools

Here's what I keep coming back to when colouring my projects:

Colours1

colour lovers
Thousands of web palettes and patterns

Colours2

color palette generator
Turns photos into dull/vibrant palettes. Great when a client comes to you with some inspiration, if they haven't brought a photo to visualise it, sit down, cycle through a few with them then turn it into a palette in front of them! You've immediately got a colour scheme they approve of and the client will leave feeling good giving some input into the work.

Colours3

color scheme designer
Helps when you need to start working on shades for borders and adding punch to a site.
