scratching the surface of color

Have you discovered colourlovers yet?  So cool.  Load a photo and pull a color palette or twenty.  Then create patterns that use your palette.  One of my new favorite color tools to play with (and by new I mean I barely know what I’m doing yet but it is a great way to waste several hours getting side tracked with color).  Check it out and let me know how you like it.  Any other great color tools you use?
