There are quite a few applications that let you create color schemes on the Mac, but this one is free (well not completely, it’s donationware), and this one lets you take your colors directly from an image. “Once the palette has been generated, it is possible to add the new palette to the Library. Colorate can save and open as many Libraries as needed.” Now that’s what I’m talking about. It also lets you save the pallettes as a .clr extension, and for those of you not in the know that means that any app that uses the OS X color panel, should be able to do something with these palettes.

It started as a hobby and turned into a full-time job for Josh. One minute he was keeping notes on his switch to the Mac and the next thing he knew he was the full time Editor-In-Chief for Macgasm. He spent his early years designing and developing Web sites, but now it's all writing, all the time. Josh also currently contributes to PCWorld. He produces two podcasts, The Macgasm Podcast, and The AppOrchard, and can be heard on CBC Radio once every couple of years, despite secretly wishing that was a more frequent gig.
