ColorSchemer Studio 2

Create Incredible Color Schemes!

Media

Version Alert! The ColorSchemer developers just released Version 2 of their fantastic application. Make sure to check out what's new!

Left to our own devices, the color combinations we come up with typically end up looking like one of Uncle Jimmy's circa-1985 Hawaiian Shirts of Doom.

In other words, ghastly.

But even we can make sensible, congruent, appealing color sets with ColorSchemer Studio 2. It's a professional color-matching application that helps us build beautiful color schemes with minimum effort.

We use ColorSchemer Studio 2 to explore color with a dynamic visual color wheel, we use it to actually see color harmony relationships, to mix colors, to create attractive gradient blends, and even to analyze contrast and readability!

The brand new version 2 of ColorSchemer Studio includes a host of new features. You can access thousands of pre-made color schemes from the ColorSchemer Gallery Community directly from the application. Using the Variations Palette you can find a similar or related color to a starting base color. ColorSchemer Studio 2 also includes color-managed environments that allow you to work with RGB and CMYK colors more accurately and efficiently.

More Brand New Version 2 Features:

Color Management/Profiles: Work with color more accurately and efficiently with built-in color management and ICC color profile support. Use specific color profiles to ensure your color-critical work comes out right the first time, whether it’s for the web or print.
CMYK Color Support: Work with CMYK colors and profiles for complete control over color in your print projects.
GalleryBrowser: Connect to the online ColorSchemer Gallery community to browse, search, and download thousands of pre-made color schemes right from within ColorSchemer Studio.
LiveSchemes: Create and save LiveSchemes - custom color relationships that you define - to instantly turn any starting color into a ready-to-use color scheme.
Variations: Use the new Variations palette to find colors that are similar or related to any starting base color.
QuickPreview Layout Templates: Pick from among a number of QuickPreview layout styles to preview your colors in a variety of different settings, including website, blog, print and pattern layouts.
Color Libraries: Select colors from pre-defined color libraries, including HTML named colors and more.
Groups in Favorites: Create Color Groups in the Favorite Colors list to group sets of related colors together within a single scheme.

Now you can create custom LiveScheme formulas based on color theory, or your own imagination. You can even reverse-engineer and rotate existing color schemes with a simple drag & drop. Check out the LiveScheme video demo for a quick overview of this awesome new feature!

Real Users Say:

“I am so color deprived -- which is so sad considering how I make my living -- that I seriously use this app whenever I start a new design.”- Adam Howell
“I'm very, very impressed with your software. It really shows that you had ease of use and developers in mind. You've made my job a lot easier! (I wish I had run across Color Schemer Studio earlier :)"
"I'm pretty heavily colorblind, and having your product has helped me tremendously in putting together some really great looking schemes!”- Adam J. Zwierko
“Before today I never even knew ColorSchemer existed and somehow I cannot even imagine how I succeeded in web design before using it!
This is certainly a fantastic piece of kit for any serious web designer and it has certainly saved me a lot of hours in rework.”- Ade Rowley
“Color Schemer is a great product. Previously I had to ferret around in Fireworks or Photoshop to develop my palettes, now it takes a fraction of the time with Color Schemer to achieve a better result.
Another web developer in our building noticed me using Color Schemer - needless to say he thought it was terrific and the answer to all his color woes.”- Kendall Taylor
“I'm so impressed with your product. There are so many color widgets out there but nothing as straight-forward to use and yet robust in functionality.
Wow, you have saved me a lot of time and hassle. Okay, sorry, I'm gushing now. Let me close with a little dignity still intact by simply saying, thank you.”- Sabrina Lorah
