Colorz - a new color management product released
The purpose of the product is to ease color management. This is especially usefull for designers. **Colorz is usable in many situations.** - It can automatically generate a color scheme for an entire website from only one single color! - It serves as a single color repository for a website. - You can change the color scheme for a branch of a website, or for the entire site without having to change any code. - In systems like Plone, where changing the colors very often is part of site customisation procedure. Colorz makes it possible to change alle colors on a site by changing just the main color. Then the rest of the colors on the site will automatically adjust to this color by automatically generating a new color scheme. Following standard color theory. - When you are doing a draft layout, you usually skip back and forth between DreamWeaver, Photoshop and you browser. By using the Colorz you can make preliminary layouts a lot simpler. You can also test out which color scheme will be good for a main color. The Colorz product is also an interactive tutor of color theory :-) **you can also try it out just because it is fun to play with.** Get it here: http://www.zope.org/Members/maxm/productList/colorz/ regards Max M
this is a wonderful product idea. hooking that up to a style sheet that contains DTMl/ZPT and talks to it makes it rock even more. it's the first such product that does away with running some other program on your computer to simply tell you those hex values. jens On Wednesday, Nov 27, 2002, at 06:57 US/Eastern, Max M wrote:

Yes, and I have made it as open ended as possible, for it to be as flexible as possible. I made a few iterations on it before I found the current solution. The previous versions being much more rigid in colors generated. But that didn't work as expected. regards Max M
