Setting Color Pallet for Korea & Japan Book

 We recently returned from a trip to South Korea and Japan with Grove City College and Notre Dame alumni.  I took my camera grabbed lots of pictures, solicited fellow travelers for copies of their favorite shots and will be creating a book using Printique's services as my publisher.  

My current task is picking a pallete. I sometimes play with a color wheel for colors and then dip into a different tool to develop variations. The web site I used to use to help me with this seems to have hidden itself behind a paywall much to high to warrant my climbing it for literally one palette.  After some googling I have come up with a coupel of new sites that should do the job for me.  This post is to share those sites and document them for my future use.

Before delving into the tools, a moment for my opening color thoughts.  There are a few things I want to achieve with my book colors:

1. Change from recent Barrett Photo Books
2. Logical connection to trip
3. Light colored page backgrounds
4. High contrast color band (sometimes more than one)
5. Dark text color for use on background color
6. Light text color for use on color band
