During designing process, have you ever come in such a situation where you had to decide what colors to use to theme around a certain image say logo or banner etc. Will you select a color picker and point out every color used on that image one by one? That is not a good option, is it?

Mailchimp, the leading E-mail marketing solutions provider company, has come up with a solution for that in the form of a service named Pictaculous. Just upload any image, and it will fetch the colors from it and display the color palette, so you can stick to that color scheme to bring uniformity to your designs.

In addition to this, it also shows different palettes from sites such as Adobe Kuler and COLOURlovers. Below is an option to get color schemes exported in adobe swatch format, for further convenience.

imagePictaculous also works on your Phone. Just email the picture to color@mailchimp.com and get a reply within few minutes. A preview of what you will get on a reply can be seen on the right.

After using it, I am sure that you will forget your current color picker tool.
