As a designer I find inspiration for color schemes from all over. From architecture, nature, to paintings and photographs. I’ve driven by houses with a great color scheme and thought to myself “That would make a great color scheme for a website!”.
Using Photoshop’s Filter > Pixelate > Mosaic, we can grab a photograph and find a great scheme from it! Hover the below photos to see the scheme they produce at 65 cell size. Photographs with a wide array of colors will work best.
I just ran across this guys livejournal. He updates it with his art, which is extremely impressive. You’ll find hand sketches, art mixed with photo-manipulation and more. I went back quite a few pages, and was only more and more impressed. Some really neat ideas, as well as great inspiration. I only wish I understood Russian.
