ColorSuckr, a project by Paul Burgess, is useful to create color schemes based on photos for use in your artwork & designs. The application extracts the most common 12 colors from the submitted image and also gives you the option to see the color scheme for each one. You can drag and drop the color results around the page, click on the color strip, hold and drag, let go to drop. The color text can also be shown and hidden by clicking the small grey dot next to the strip. ColorSuckr has also a nice feature: if you enter the URL to a web page, all the images that are found in that page are retrieved so you can choose which one would be parsed. Things can get even easier with the ColorSuckr Add-on for the FireFox browser. After you install the add-on, you can simply right click any image on a webpage and choose ‘Extract Image Colors’.
