Another colour pallete method

[francis]

Creating a colour pallete using black, white and two colours (http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/colour_color_palette_v12.html). Interesting technique and quicker to do than some others. I wonder if the pallettes it produces would be too 'samey'

Also, check out this interactive version (http://slayeroffice.com/tools/color_palette/) of the same technique.

Basically, this technique results in a "monochromatic" colour scheme. That may be suitable for some sites but not all. Monochromatic colour schemes tend to create a calm feel to a design. That might be just what you're after - or not.
