As I was recently running through some old lists from my favorite newsletter/website Brain Pickings (seriously, sign up for the newsletter, it’s the best) I came across this image search site, Multicolr Search Lab.
Basically, you can pick up to five colors from the color blocks to the right, and it will search Flickr and find images using those colors, in the relative percentages that you designate.
Granted, I have absolutely no use for this tool, but I just get all swoony over the arrays that it comes up with. A good hour spent, as far as I’m concerned.
Best thing since sliced bread!
Sliced bread is still the winner though because I suck at slicing my own bread, but this IS pretty cool.
OH. MY. GOD. This is sooooo much fun! Somewhat useless, perhaps, but sooooo much fun!!!!!
This is going to keep me smiling for days. How fun would it be to use this as a tool to paint or wallpaper a room?
Or, at least, to accent a room. A whole room might be overwhelming long-term…
I’m glad to see you’re not wasting time messing around online. Piers says “it’s called ‘research’, she’s courting the muse”. =)
This is really neat! You might also enjoy this: http://www.slate.com/id/2300331/.
So cool! Have you seen that Google Images is using a version of this functionality now?
