    I have found the links in the article to be broken. Can someone advise me if the Andrew Mundi website is still active???

    Make color matching simple by using Tintbook. Predict CMYK color with confidence for your printing projects by using the pre-printed formulas that work with ALL graphic design software. Pages with vital color viewing and color management material are found throughout each volume. Graphic Designers and Printers are calling Tintbook a lifesaver. http://www.tintbooks.com

    Great article there Robin. Actually I have something to add to your findings ... One of the challenges I have with color-wheel based applications is that the generated colors are bright and outstanding. While that's great for highlights ... that's not so good for backgrounds and object coloring (where more natural colors please the eye more). If I may offer an alternative, one of my clients has developed a tool that tends to explore more mild, harmonious colors and palettes. And I think exploration of more "natural" alternatives is more useful for designers than color wheel suggestions. For color enthusiasts, the tool is free and available at http://www.genopal.com/online.htm thanks for listening to my rant ... hehe :)

    Hi, thanks for a nice article. I guess that the list "Bookmarks for web-developers" (http://www.a lvit.de/vf/en/00_webtools.html) might be also interesting for web-designers, search for matching Color Combinations. With best regards, Vitaly Friedman, http://www.alvit.de/vf/

    I find this color tool very useful because I can cut and paste codes back and forth from PhotoShop. It has as many features as the paid ones.

    I have also found these two utilities very useful: -ColorSchemer -ColorShade They are not as full-featured as the mentioned programs but they are a lot easier to use and have some very cool features.
