The "Colorz Zope/Plone Package" is a pair of product used in
combination for creating color schemes for Zope/Plone based websites.

"Colorz Zope/Plone Package" consists of 2 seperate modules "Colorz"
and "ColorzSkin".




For ease of use they are released in a combined package. More
information downloads, screenshots etc. can be found
"here":http://www.mxm.dk/products/commercial/colorz/.



**Colorz**

Colorz is a standard Zope product, and can be used to generate derived
colors from a few basic colors. Using standard color theory. This
makes it extremely easy to generate reusable color schemes. *Colorz
can be used without ColorzSkin.*

The idea is that you have 1 main color. Typically the same color as
the logo. You insert the hex value of that color in the text field and
save your color scheme.

Then you can enter a color difference in degrees into another field to
generate a new set of colors.

You can try out different degree settings and see the results on some
test pages that uses different color schemes. There is also a color
table available that gives an overview of the colors generated.

You don't have to use generated colors though. You can just insert
color values manually, and enjoy the other benefits of the module.

**ColorzSkin**

Is a set of skins for Plone. Each skin implements a different color
scheme. *ColorzSkin depends on Colorz, and cannot be used without it.*

It is relatively easy to create new skins for Plone-based sites. But
if you want to change the colorscheme of a site, you have to change
color values in many different places.

For it to look good, you have to know something about color theory.

The ColorzSkin products makes it easy to use the colorz product in
Plone. You can easily create a new Plone skin in a different style,
using different color schemes. Most of the work is done for you
automatically.

Best of all, you don't have to know anything about color theory to use
it.
