Adobe does design very well. And one reason designers love Adobe products is the amount of tools they provide. One free tool they have up is a, for lack of a better term, Color Selector.
Their website Kulor is a web designers friend. With the ability to help you tweak and set up just the color palate you want, by offering contrasting shades and colors that work well together. Plus the ability to see the colors alongside each other so that the most powerful tool of them all, your Mark 1 eyeball, can decide its the combination that works for you. Once you have a swatch set up, the site allows you to download the swatches as a swatch set for your adobe products.
Now the bad, I work mainly in print and I couldn’t find out a way to put ink swatches together in the same way. And even though you can technically convert most RGB colors to CMYK, you can convert all and they don’t provide an option to have them be output as CMYK.
So here I am hoping that in a while they’ll add support for Pantone Colors and CMYK swatches. Meanwhile I’ll use it for webdesign and to get rough ideas on color combinations.
