Finding Colour Palettes with Color Hunter

Color Hunter is a place to find and make color palettes created from images.

I'm really liking Color Hunter and think it's one of the most useful applications of the Flickr API I've seen to date. You can use the service to search for new colour palettes either by tag, hex color code or image URL; once you've created a free account you can save a list of your favourite colour palettes for future reference. See some palettes I've saved.

Another great feature of the Color Hunter service is a toggle for displaying palettes in either vibrant or dull mode, this feature instantly doubles the number of palettes available and provides alternative palettes you may not have previously considered. Good stuff.
