Hey guys, just a tip...

At work, me and my fellow rigger Bruno were deciding on rig colours
for the autorig. I brought up good ol' Adobe's Kuler to help pick a
pleasant palette that went well together... [Our biped colors looks
really nice now!]

http://kuler.adobe.com/

(Go to Create, From a Color, and then play with the available rules
and dragging the circles in the color wheel.)


Just thought I'd mention it in case it might help someone else too.
(Mind you, Kuler isn't new; it's many years old, but in my opinion
it's somewhat under-appreciated.)

Cheers,

-- Alan

Hey Alan,
YES KULER rocks, I use it too but for my shot breakdowns. ;)
More interesting than the boring default colors.

And a non-Adobe alternative (online tool only though):
