this week’s hot app

The good people at Sherwin Williams have come up with an amazing new app.

Here’s the gist:

• You go to their website and download the Chip It app to the toolbar on your Apple.
• When you a see any image that inspires you on any website–click the Chip It button
• The app generates a color palette of Sherman Williams paints for your use.

Choosing colors that work well together is a challenge for even the best designer.  Why not borrow from the expert palette of Picasso?  Or you can find names for colors from photos of rooms that inspire you in editorial spreads.  Nice work, Sherwin.
