Color my world...

...

No, no, no. Not the old rock tune by Chicago.

But a way to recharge my world by tuning into a favorite color on the web. I really could have used this 'color search engine' when I was blogging about orange a few weeks ago.


ideeinc.com (ee-day') is a recent find (for me anyway, from another blog) of a company specializing in image searches on the web.

To quote their webpage:
We extracted the colours from 10 million of the most “interesting” Creative Commons images on Flickr. Using our visual similarity technology you can navigate the collection by colour.



Using their 'Multicolr Search Lab' page you can select from one to ten different colors from a color palette and the site returns hundreds of image matches for any combination chosen from the Creative Commons images on flickr dot com.



Looking for some images colored strongly orange and black for Halloween..??





Or perhaps something more sunny and bright for these chilly fall days. How 'bout some blue and yellow..??





If you are ever looking for a picture with a certain color ...or a color for a certain mood ...this image/color search tool will serve you very well.


Gotta run; got 10 million images to browse...
