If you don’t know about COLOURlovers yet, get thee to this site. If you’re already in the know, then you’re aware of just what an amazing resource the site has become over the last few years. And what more would you expect from a site that’s dedicated to something as diverse and wonderful as colour (that’s “color” for those of us on this side of the pond). To date, they’ve gathered over 45,000 members who have collected more than 650,000 colours and 231,000 palettes.

In celebration of this success, and in the interest of keeping things fresh, COLOURlovers recently released version III of their wonderful site. The newest version features a “pattern” selection, to work alongside their palettes and colors, as well as a full colour redesign of the site itself. And, just as a fun comparison, when Josh wrote about COLOURlovers over 2 years ago, the top palette was Summer of 1970 and the top colour was Heatland. Those honors now go to Stockholm Syndrome (shown) and Cosmic.
