Kuler -- from ''Cool...

. . . Search by Hex (or RGB) value.



I know this has been suggested before, but it needs to be
emphasized how
incredibly useful this function would be.



Many times, we designers have a single color (or more)
chosen, or even more regularly, a corporate logo, scheme, or
palette we are working off of.



Right now, kuler is
wonderful for discovery, browsing, etc. But, if I could take
the #0376ab logo that has been handed down to me by my clueless
client or bull-headed boss, and instantly discover
already amazing palettes (as decided by the beautiful mass
collective of passionate kuler users) that titillate the senses and
teem with inspiration-- I would visit kuler for each and every
design project that popped into my head.



And I (along with every other blogger/designer in the
universe) will sing your praises to each and every one of my
colleagues and comrades once this feature exists. Please hurry!

I totally second this sentiment and I'm willing to bet that
something is in the works.



In the meantime, I'm going to start entering my hex values as
tags. This didn't make any sense to do earlier, with the evil color
shifting bug making a joke of assigning specific color values, but
it does seem to be working now. If it works, we can search on
colors. If not, we might provide useful data in tracking bugs.



I'd like to ask all kuler community members out there
creating themes to start putting hex values as tags. Not ideal, but
it would enable us to search on specific colors immediately. How
kule is that? :)

Easter Egg Alert: you can search by hex color values by
entering ''hex:######'' into the search field. For example:




hex:FF0000



I suppose we might want to document this in the help =)

Document? Nah. Make 'em read the forum postings. Better for
Sami's business. :)
