Are your colours piximilar?
Here’s a fun little tool for finding images of a similar colour range.
Idée’s Multicolr Search Lab browses through over 10 million Flickr images to find those that are similar in colour to those you have specified – give it a go, it’s great fun.
The system works by using visual similarity, a sophisticated range of algorithms to analyze hundreds of image attributes such as colour, shape, texture, luminosity, complexity, objects and regions.
Idée have some great applications in the pipeline, one really useful tool is TinEye; an image recognition tool that will return similar searches, similarity instances and information about that image.
Both of these tools will be great additions to any designer’s utility-belt. I’m certainly looking forward to using them soon.
