I did make a start at picking out colors for my website. I opened up a few Alaska pictures and used the eye dropper tool to pick out a color from the picture. Then I double-clicked on the colored box that showed up on the left of the screen, and that gave me the hex number/value for the color. Then my amazing husband who does this kind of stuff for a living said, "Hey, now that you have the hex value, you can punch it into the Color Schemer website and get matching colors with their hex values." It's very cool! The website is
http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html. It's been really helpful so far, as I've been able to find both the cool blue colors as well as some deeper greens that I've been looking for. (Although, the Color Schemer does give you a billion choice, which means you could spend hours looking for that exactly perfect color....). I'm sure it will take some experimenting to choose the exact hues I want, but at least I have a starting place now.

Thank you for including the colorschemer link. It looks like it will be really helpful for your peers such as myself, too.
I agree - thank you for the link. Good plan on using "cool" colors for your project - I don't expect that sunshiny warm oranges and reds would be quite right.
