Adobe has a site called kuler that is just color swatches you can download and use in photoshop or illustrator or whatever. I've used it a bit to get color palates for different things (a valentines card and our holiday card for example) and it's super cool on it's own, BUT, they have a new feature where you can create swatches from pictures. Which is what I've been doing this evening. It allows you to find your pix (or anyone's really) on flickr and it picks 5 colors from each to create the swatch. Then you have several choices regarding how it selects them (bright, colorful, muted, you get the point). It's been really fun distilling my images down to 5 colors and interesting to see the results. If you are interested you can go to the site and search for milesdscott. That will bring up my collection. You can even download them and use them in photoshop if you want.
