Color Fields Color Picker

This is extremely cool - its a Color Picker page. You select a colour (phew, back to proper spelling!) from the colour wheel, and photos are displayed in that particular hue. You can even lighten the shade of colour, and it will bring up even more pictures in that shade.

As usual, I nosed into this a little more, and found that the pictures are all hosted on Flickr. Most of you, I'm sure will be aware of Flickr, the website set up to host pictures. The service is free, and allows you to upload your pictures to their web site, and make them available for viewing as individual pictures, or indeed themed albums. In fact, I use it to host my blog pictures.

But here the plot thickens. You can also submit photos to global pools (universal albums, if you like), and then others can view the entire collection, even though there may be hundreds of contributors. Color Fields is one such Group Pool. And then it made me realise what a great idea the Color Picker is; all the featured photos are selected from the Color Fields pool, dependent on their hue. Not sure how it's done, but I like it .. I like it a lot.
