Enable Me: Color Palette Generator

Have you ever heard about color palette generators? They break up images into their various shades of color and create matching color palettes. A pretty neat tool that can come in handy sometimes when you need to decide which kit to use for a photo, or want to create something with a certain color palette. There are tons of color palette generators out there on the www, when you just google them. But I found one that I discovered, which is pretty neat. I rather like it, because It allows you to use images from a URL as well as uploading one from your computer, It creates various shades of color palettes – light, medium, dark, It gives you the number for the color, which is perfect for web use, as well as, in Photoshop when you want to make sure you use the exact same color again. So, if you ever need a color palette generator, here you have one that I found works pretty well!
