Need a picture that matches the colour scheme of a project you are working on? Here’s 2 websites that could help you find it.

Multicolr Search Lab - This website searches Creative Commons images on Flickr and allows you to pick up to ten colours for it to try and match to a photo. To make one colour more prominent than the others all you need to do is select it more than once. To see the full sized image you can just click on the picture to be taken to the Flickr page.

Flickr Colour Selectr – This site also searches Flickr for Creative Commons images, but unlike Multicolr Search Lab it only allows you to search for one colour at a time. What makes this site great is it allows you to enter the exact colour you are looking for and it will then provide you with images as close to that colour as it can find.
