3. Color Combos was build to help web developers quickly select and test website color combinations. They offer tools to see how different color palettes would look on the screen and a library where users share their combinations for some inspiration.
If you have some favorite websites that look nice, just grab the url and let ColorCombos suggest some colors from those sites. Or you can just browse different categories like aqua, lemon, green, peach and others to find a color scheme.

4. Toucan is a little more sophisticated tool, compared to the others in this list. Developed by Aviary, it was made to encourage you to create and play with color pallets. You can increase up to 20 or go down to only 3 colors in your scheme and you can customize it in many many ways. The possibilities are endless.
Aviary released several more online tools, among which an image editor and an effects editor, so the palette created with Toucan can be imported and used in these tools. I think that’s a great plus for Toucan users.
