Have you ever looked at a photo and thought “wow, what beautiful colours“?
I have just discovered a website called Big Huge Labs, courtesy of an article in the Beading Daily, which has a colour palette generator that creates a colour palette from any photo that you upload.
Here are some examples of colour palettes generated, using colourful photos from previous blog posts:

It’s so easy to use and a great way to create colour palettes for use in crafting projects, art projects, website design or home decor projects – and its just plain fun! (You can also download the colour swatches in Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) format for Photoshop or compatible applications.)

Have fun!!
BIG SKIES JEWELLERY 
This is wonderful. This makes implementing inspirations really easy because you now have access to the actual color codes. I love it!
Great Post.
Thanks! I am so happy you have gained value from my post – that’s what its all about! I just thought it was such a great application for crafters and artists – I had to share it.
Ooh you’ve got me quite excited with this one – it will be wonderful to match up potential colour schemes with photos I have of natural objects and flowers, as well as some Peranakan Pottery I took photos of last year (and haven’t managed to get around to using the colours in jewellery yet)! On the to-do list…. Cath
I collect photos of all sorts of things (as well as those I have taken myself) just because I like the colour combinations in the subject matter – now I can use this app to develop a palette I can use in my jewellery! I really like the colour combinations you use in your pieces – you have a great eye for interesting and effective colour combinations. I like the idea of taking a colour scheme from pottery.
Any inspiration is welcome sometimes! Thanks for your kind comments on my colour combinations. I have no formal training! Cath
