TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Sorry I am posting this so looong after the first post, but I was attending
the most-excellent WinWriter's conference all week and just got caught up on
this week's mail.
Anyhoo - there is a wonderful tool called ColorMix at http://www.colormix.com/ <http://www.colormix.com/>
ColorMix lets you create new web-safe colors that are actually combinations
(dithered) of web-safe colors. The combo's created are much subtler than
the standard 216 safe colors. The site lets you preview your colors so you
can avoid the measles-like look that dithering can lend some combinations.
It also saves your palettes so you can re-use them - and (best of all) it's
FREE!
