With the release of the COLOURlovers API, you can now access 1.4 million named colors and more than 500,000 color palettes for your creative projects and applications. Creating a theme editor and want to give your users some color theme options? Creating a visual project that ties keywords to colors? Who knows what amazingly creative stuff people will come up with.
Below are two showcase examples of the COLOURlovers API in action as well as the full API documentation. Happy API COLOURloving!
COLOURlovers API Usage Showcase
Desktop Color Search - AIR App
Desktop Color Search is an Adobe AIR app that runs on your desktop and allows you to search the entire COLOURlovers database for colors, palettes and patterns. You'll need to download the Adobe AIR runtime in order to run Desktop Color Search, you can use the link below to install AIR. (It works in both Windows and on Mac OS X)
Special thanks to Levi McCallum at FutonMedia for coding the AIR app.

WONDERFUL~
I‘m sure it will be widely accepted as a professional color tool~
 
jowra2 Апр, 2008
Great! I will add some random palettes to my new site.
Thanks a lot! :-)

Looks like fun, I'm going to have to play around with it.. I wonder what I could do with the image functions in php (heh, probably not much..).
 
consonant3 Апр, 2008
AIR App. for COLOURlovers is really rocking! Thanks for coding!
 
eskimoblo…5 Апр, 2008
Thats cool. We will implement it in the upcoming colorLib for processing.
 
visualrin…5 Апр, 2008
you all should definitely try building some stuff with this API... it's a snap!
 
gsmonk6 Апр, 2008
Don't know exactly where to post this, but for all you PHP people on the site, I have written a PHP wrapper to the API.
phpColourLover. jsColourLover is also in the works!
 
J-man7 Апр, 2008
Oh, that looks really good, probably better than what I'm using right now.. ^_^
So anyway, I came up with a little something in php. It takes palettes and turns them into gradients. You can search for palettes by keyword and lover, as well as get the top and new palettes. You can also choose the width of the gradient and the amount of palettes to get. It was pretty hard to get started, mainly because I never have had to grab data from an xml file (This is the first API I've really used..), and because some palettes have only 2, 3, or 4 colors instead of 5.. :P So yeah, link is here, and use all my bandwidth! Actually don't worry about it, I think I have plenty.. :P
 
J-man7 Апр, 2008
Uh, that was supposed to be don't use all my bandwidth. No edit button.. :(
 
terriann10 Апр, 2008
Great as if I didn't spend all my free time coming up with new ideas of projects I will never have time to finish. Thanks for adding yet another.
I'm quite excited though that you've created an API. This is one I'll definitely get to playing with soon!
 
ryan.detz…23 Апр, 2008
Hey, I'm experimenting with the API and I've added a feature to my site so people can see any colour lover palettes for a color if they exist. I might add some more features later but I think this will help me out a lot when I'm looking for new color palettes from web designs I like.
Example:

I implemented the API inside of Processing (of processing.org). Wrote a sketch that fills the screen with growing circles of different colors based on keyword.
In this video, the keywords used were "light spring": http://www.vimeo.com/1260802
and here is "love" with a slightly different algorithm: http://www.vimeo.com/1260839
Really glad you guys released this!

I wonder if there is any way you could post a link to the actual download, and not to the automatic installer that Adobe uses? I am on Linux, and the beta version of Air works for most things, but Adobe's site won't let me get past the browser checker.
Thanks!
Pat
