There is no quicker way to assemble a group of complimentary colors for a web project. Once defined, Color Diver quickly generates a custom color wheel or pallete sample image which can be saved right along with your project files as a permanent tool for you or your client.

Color Diver starts with a sample image chosen by the user. If needed, the image is resampled to a size of 200 pixels square then a database map is created cataloging the color of each individual pixel. Mapping results in a table of standard web (hex) color codes with 200 rows and 200 columns resulting in up to 40,000 (200 X 200) colors.

This image is then presented as a mapped graphic so that as the mouse passes over each pixel, the color table is indexed to provide the actual color code. As you discover each desired color, just click to add it to a basket of up to 16 colors to be used in your designs.

Our system now provides the ability to create additional images using the basket of 16 colors. This feature allows you to quickly reduce and refine the inventory of colors to a pallete specific to your project. Once approved, the final revision can be saved right along with other project files to serve as a permanent reference of the designers intended color scheme.

For designers, the Diving Buddy feature allows you to include your approved pallete as a color picker object in any web page or template. It's a quick and easy method to allow your client to interact and participate in the design process.

Diving Buddy associates your image with a database record of the color map and makes it available as a simple Javascript include. This method means the CPU intensive process of mapping the image occurs only once. Thereafter, your map is delivered instantly and will appear in the container page almost instantly.
