Adobe Kuler 2.1 - Let's paint!

Kuler isn't cooler! Just helpful.

If you haven't heard of Kuler before, that's okay. It's a color sampling tool and now integrates to Flickr. If you've been at a Home Depot lately and passed the paint department, I'm sure you've seen those color strips. Kuler makes them, pulling them out of uploaded or Flickr photos, or by spinning the color wheel of destiny. It's useful for designers, etc.. and for you're next home-decor make-over.

Kuler Analogous Example.
