It reminds me of colorify. me, a random color generator that I made one day when I got bored.
My favorite color picker has got to be colllor

Courses Plus Student 3,337 PointsI can never remember everything about HEX colour codes, so I do it the easy way! :)
I personaly use this site which I find super helpful instead of flicking back to Photoshop constantly. Or if I'm on a computer that doesn't have something like Photoshop but I have the sudden urge to change a colour.
It's just a really basic colour wheel (or square rather), but online.

39,199 Points@Vaughan - I really hope people don't use photoshop as a color picker.
Personally I like colorpicker.com there's also colorschemer.com if you need a whole color scheme.
