I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again right now - I can’t design my way out of a paper bag. However, that hasn’t stopped me from continually trying to work on improving my sense of design. I’ll get there eventually… I think. Since I can’t fully rely on my own instincts, I’ve had to learn from others. Sometimes it has been pretty, and sometimes it has been disastrous. Examples of both good and bad design are all around us, and if you just open your up your eyes, you’ll see it for yourself. A good place to start is with colors. If the tones please the eye, then you’re off to a good start. See a Web site that has a couple of fantastic colors that you’d like to incorporate into your own unique designs? Use I Like Your Colors to find out what color values are being used.

Simply enter in the URL of the page you’d like to examine, and I Like Your Colors will break the Crayola box down for you. As you’ll see, the service will typically reference the Cascading Style Sheet that it’s pulling the data from. Taste the rainbow, ladies and gentlemen.
