"Color Scheme" Softwares

Using color palettes is some thing essential for fashion designers, and now you can find alot of them everywhere in the web.... Some are already for paid.. some are for free... and some are to be used online and for free...

Some of them already use Pantone codes (which are the most reliable codes used by most of Fashion designers or retailer) and some use Html codes (Hex codes which mostly used be web designers)

One of the greatest ones is "myPantone"... which you can download for free from Panton's official website...
For sure, it helps you to build up your color matches whatever the way you want them, (monochromatic, analogical, contrasted, double contrasted...etc). What's more, it helps you to figure out the color palette of your design automatically just by selecting the design.

Pantone isn't the only one you can use, you can try Pic2color, Kuler from Adobe Labs- which is really amazing- as well as color scheme. Although all these rarely use Pantone codes.
However some of them -as Kuler - already gives you the RGB, CMYK codes, which already helps you to pick up the pantone code easily...

Enjoy your time playing around with colors then...
With all my warm wishes...
