The vast majority of the Gallereo community can probably count themselves lucky as they're able to say that they do have a heavy dose of artistic talent to go along with their yearning to be artistic in the first place. However, not everyone can be quite so lucky.
Fear not, if you're desperate to give your inner artist a trial run, but are well aware that your talents are seriously limited, then CHROMAom might be something that you're interested in.
CHROMAom was born from the joining of two colour-obsessed companies,
COLOURlovers and ColourSchemer, the former being a colour-sharing community, and the latter making software for matching colours. Once the companies merged, they were able to make a fantastic amount of funding for their start up company through the YCombinator network. to really build on their business to help anyone become half decent at working with colour.
CHROMAom interestingly released an iPhone app called
ColourSchemer which lets you pick colours from a colour wheel to form your own palette, and you can then share that palette on the COLOURlovers website. If you're having trouble making a good colour palette, you can take a photograph of something that you think looks good, and the app will let you select the colours from that photo.
