So you've moved into a new place and want to make that place your own with a little paint or a splash of color. Easy right? But what if you are coming up with a blank canvas and can't seem to find the right combination of colors to suit your geeky but oh-so-chic taste? Maybe Colourlovers can help you break your creative block. Not only are there literally thousands of color palettes to spark some inspiration, but now you can browse through hundreds of patterns too. Submissions are rated one through five hearts by the Colourlovers community, so you can search by top rated or new or just meander through all the colors of the rainbow.

In addition to some seriously cool color combos, the Colourlovers blog has some really awesome insights into color and trends and got me totally inspired by everyday (and not so everyday) objects. Plus, once you become more comfortable with your colorful self, you can start creating some palettes of your own!

Sometimes a girl just needs a little help with picking out a palette. Whether it be for your home, your website, your wedding, whatever, ColorJack can help. Similar to Colourlovers, ColorJack helps you find colors that work together so you can stop worrying if a certain hue of purple clashes with your favorite color of pink and get down to business. Just move the dots around the color wheel to get six different (but totally workable) color options, and you're ready to export your palette to Illustrator or Photoshop, or save it as a web link for reference.
