For professionals and color ethusiasts alike

ColorExplorer.com has been developed for the professional designer and color enthusiast.

The user interface has been carefully designed to allow for the most undistracted work with colors possible, maintaining a modern, clean, and absolutely color neutral appearance (i.e.: all gray!).

ColorExplorer and current Web 2.0 trends

ColorExplorer.com challenges the current ”Web 2.0” standards by not putting user accounts, forced registration, and ”community spirit” into the equation. With ColorExplorer the goal is not to get thousands and thousands of user profiles, nor to get people to communicate about their doings on the site.

Quite contrary, ColorExplorer is fully usable right from the first time you visit the site; there is no requirement for registration, not even in order to save your palettes. ColorExplorer is about exploring and working with colors. Simple as that.

However, you may choose to create a user profile in case you want better security about your palettes and be able to access them from multiple workstations.

So, who made this?

ColorExplorer is designed, developed, and hosted by Port80.biz, a small independant web innovation agency in Århus, Denmark. If you are interested in partnering or funding future development of ColorExplorer, please contact Kim Jensen at
