Picular: Google Search for Colors

Cool Infographics: Charts and graphs can communicate data; infographics turn data into information.

Picular is a new search engine for colors, using Google Image Search to the exact hex color numbers most associated with the keyword you enter into the search.

Search engine for colors: Picular is a rocket fast primary color generator using Google’s image search. If you ever needed the perfect yellow hex code from a banana, this is the tool for you.

Putting colors to words: Picular helps designers to easily extract the most relevant colors for a specific context or domain. It helps to understand perception, psychology and aesthetics of a color or tone you’re interested in.

According to Fast Company, “The tool is the brainchild of the Sweden-based digital design studio Future Memories, which now uses the tool on a daily basis. According to the studio, about 15,000 other creatives frequently use the tool to test whether search terms are strongly related to particular colors.”
