I admit..I am color challenged!!! I shouldn't be because I used too paint
crafts to sell at craft shows!!

I know most say that they take the colors from their photo's, I take one color and then I am stuck if It is a photo with a miss mash of colors or only one main color, I am stuck!!
With this program you can color pick the main color and it will give you all sorts of combinations that go together.

So when it comes to painting my interior rooms of my house, choosing clothes
that go together, (That's why I mainly wear blue jeans!! LOL) and picking
out complimentary colors for text or whatever on LO's, I AM LOST!!!

I ran across this program, it's not free but you can get a 15 day trial
period, and for someone like me it was well worth the price as I can use it
in my every day life also!!

It can create about 20 different combinations that compliment each other,
and you can save your palettes in .PAL to use in PSP. I believe it also works for the other programs also....?
I created one for browns as I always have a hard time getting the right ones!!

Maybe this can help out some people as it did for me!! ;o)
