: How to find relation between colors to recreate scheme? I'm messing around with some premade site designs and I really like the color balance of one, however the scheme is not the color I'm

@Lengel450

As far as my understanding goes, as you're talking about some website design, you might be seeing the RGB colors (as opposed to CMYK, I mean). Hence, if you wish to create the same combinations for some other base color, the only way as I see it is by manually swapping the values constituting the R, G and B color scales (though it might not lead to very impressive results).


For example, if you're seeing a color that has a value, say #FF7700 which has Red base followed by Green and finally Blue; if you wish to see how the color looks with a Green base, followed by Red and finally Blue, you can simply swap it as #77FF00 which would have a Green base.
The same can be achieved in case you need to do it with the RGB color codes instead of HEX. For example, RGB(255,119,0) would be a Red base with Green added onto it, whereas RGB(119,255,0) would be the vice versa.

If you have your design template in Illustrator, you may try to create a Color Group and tweak it to your needs with Edit Colors feature.

Kuler let's you choose a base color and reccomends other colors. You can also set your own color groups or browse ones created by others. It is also a quick reference for hex color codes and matching them to colors and other codes such as rgb and cmyk.
