An entire world of new friends and colleagues.
A changed life.
I’m always on the lookout for cool tools for my students, and I just found a nice one via Kottke’s remaindered links.
One of the problems with teaching web design is that many of my students have, shall we say, only a rudimentary sense of color combinations. For several years, I’ve pointed them to this Shockwave-based site.
But the Javascript-based site Kottke points to is far better. Not only does it provide a better interface for selection and refinement, it even adds a wonderful component to let you see how your colors will appear to someone with a variety of colorblindnesses. (I tested it with my husband, who’s red-green colorblind. “Do you see the difference between these?” I asked, toggling between the “normal” and “deuteranpy” modes. “Between what?” he responded. Guess it works!)
