Before beginning work with a new client, every design professional recommends that the client create a file folder of "favorite" images to give them a head start on working together. There are a ton of "decorating tools" of questionable value on line, but only one that I have found that lets you take an image and translate it into something really useful - kuler by Adobe. Simply upload the "favorite" image and presto you have a color scheme with 5 colors from your image. Who would have guessed that a vase of peonies could create a preppy color scheme for a downtown loft. Shown is the "muted" random scheme that the software generates with several other options available. You can also move 5 circles around the image to other colors to change the scheme at will. Importing pictures is a piece of cake, and the site works intuitively. Originally designed for graphic artists, it is a delightful tool for anyone that loves color.
