      I wrote a little free plugin yesterday that uses the http://www.colr.org site to let you browse, search, and use colors by their tag name.

      More info here.

      • Dec 09 '09 - Added the schemes view

      Curious - after using this for a few days now, is it useful to be able to tag colors?

          Jim,

          Excellent plugin, very intuitive to use and well integrated with the Paint bucket palette. You also found a good source of color schemes.

                English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

                    Wow, thanks for the comments! I think it's fun to use, and is hopefully useful too.

                    I added a new version (dated today) to the download page. It has the color scheme support from the colr.org site available as a tab. I also changed the layout a little to accommodate schemes, and make room for more actions.

                      Thank you Jim. This could be very useful.

                        No, but I've been thinking about something similar. The colourlovers.com site has a larger community, and a better API and so is a good candidate for a similar plug-in. And if you are a member, you would have access to your own colors and color schemes from the plug-in. They have patterns as well, but I didn't see any natural wood textures.

                          Curious if any Mac users have tried this? I got an email from a Mac user saying it's not working for them, but everything looks to be installed correctly.

                          With 400 downloads and no feedback to the contrary, I assume it's working for everyone. Thanks.

                            I can give it a go on my Mac tomorrow. Remind me if I don't get back to you.

                              On a Mac, if Mondrianum wasn't so easily available and seamlessly integrated into SU, I would be inclined to try. You can create your own schemes thru the Kuler site and access within SU.

                                That's just awesome! I'll definitely suggest the Mac user investigate this option. I had no idea.

                                Is there a link to get me started?

                                            Hi Tig, thanks for responding so quickly, when I run this script syntax error,
                                            I do not know why, but it shows me a syntax error ... Do I need some additional components?
                                            There are only two files ... ( clr.rb and folder whith five files)

                                            I would like to integrate some plugins that allow me to match colors as
                                            the color palette Dulux trade, please if you know any other useful
                                            puglin grateful to you, sorry for my English.
