How I missed this when it first came out, I do not know, but I’m kicking myself for having not seen it until now.
Color Schemer Studio v1.5 is easily one of the best design tools I have found in years. Intuitive interface, well designed functionality and smart features truly allow the designer to create top notch color systems. This tool has been missing for much too long in the design world.
Excellent, excellent work. I will be telling everyone I know to buy this product, as I will be myself as well. Are there site licenses for it yet?

I have one of the new MacBooks, and the program crashes/doesn’t open. Is this due to the Universal Binary? I’ve seen the program before and I LOVE IT. :) Great program…..will be looking forward to it being ready for the MacBooks.

Very nice application for color management! I am surprised I hadn’t come across it before being the mac fanatic that I am. I look forward to trying it with updates to my websites.

I just love the randomize feature its a great tool for inspiration.
Not sure about the colour blindness function, are there that many people that are colour blind?

What a great product you have.
I’ve browsed through most of the online tools available on a recent post, and while Kuler and Daily Color Scheme have an advantage online, you guys rock in the desktop.
Keep on !

Nice theme, but you header is returning an error, see bottom of page. At least for me.

I found using WordPress to design my web sites a great time saver and with plugins for automatic sitemap generation and SEO optimisation and easy changing of themes its such a web design time saver. If fact i just made a template from the theme i’m currently using and after veiwing the souce code i just saved as html and with a bit of copy and pasting moved all the content on my older html pages to the new template now my older pages all look the same as the blog template. On a new site this isnt a problem but this one has been around a while before i used WordPress. Still have a load of article pages to move over but i should be able to automate some of it with a few block text replacer programs i have.
