Color is so important to a design. The wrong color choices or improper color harmony can easily ruin an otherwise fantastic idea, message or concept.

This is why Adobe has created the community driven free to use website at www.kuler.adobe.com . This site is a very valuable tool for any designer in any field of media. From web design to traditional print, this site is one of the first places I go when starting a new project.

Kuler allows you to intuitively find the perfect colors and color schemes. From analogous, monochromatic, or even triad color schemes to name a few. The site will even display the color values in RGB, CMYK, HEX, HSV, and Lab.

You can even use other members creations and the best part is when you are done picking your perfect color scheme you can download them in an adobe swatch exchange file to use in all your Adobe software.
