Have you ever wanted to Google a specific color or palette? Perhaps you're trying to choose colors to paint your home's interior or decorate your children's birthday parties. Regardless of your reason, there is now a way to search for colors based on Google images. Picular is a new site that is essentially the Google for colors. This ambitious new website takes splash colors from Google image search queries and provides relevant colors and schemes in response.
How it Works
Picular allows users to search for random keywords and phrases then provides Google Image results for those search queries, except only the main or average color of the image is provided. For example, performing a search for the word "brick" will likely yield color image results with vivid reds and browns. Popular search queries from users testing this ambitious software include searches for "pride," which results in an array of rainbow colors, as well as "chess," which displays blacks and whites organized exactly like a chess board. If users want to find the image the colors are derived from, Picular even provides a link to see the Google image. Users don't even have to click the link, but simply hover over it and the original source for the average color is revealed.
Uses
Picular will undoubtedly be used for a variety of reasons when it catches on and gains popularity. Painters can use it to find color patterns associated with certain words and descriptions. Artists aren't the only beneficiaries to the site, however. Web designers, photographers, graphic designers, and even film directors will likely use the website to match colors with specific keywords to use in their work. Perhaps Google will even implement Picular in Google image results for users who are specifically searching for colors, rather than typical image results.
