Kuler is a web application for generating color themes that can inspire any project.

That might seem a little dull, but if your struggling to create the perfect balance, it can be a good source of inspiration.

What you might not know, is that since Creative Suite 4, Kuler has been integrated into all your favourite Adobe applications. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign – all the big names. The Kuler toolbar is hidden away under extensions, but when you discover the little gem, you’ll be presented with the Kuler window.

This enables you to browse themes by Newest, Most popular & Highest rated. You can obviously create your own themes, based on set Kuler colour rules, Analogous, Monochromatic, Triad, Complementary, Compound, and Shades — which are based on color theory.

Kuler has a large number of users, and this online community keeps the content fresh. You can upload your own colour themes (providing you have an Adobe ID) which other users can rate, favourite and comment on.

Thanks Adobe.
