I’ve been using Pixie for years now, and I don’t know how I could write CSS design something (web-related) without it. It has to be the most convenient and effective way to capture colors for a site. See a color you like? CTRL+ALT+C gives you the HTML color code for any color your mouse is hovering over. CTRL+ALT+X opens the color mixer in case you want a slight variation of that color. It has proven itself to be very handy.

I’ve mentioned a time or two about January and how things will be changing at work. Well, one of those things just so happens to be a new office space for our team. It’s more convenient for us to be away from the other (distracting) projects that normally surround us, and put more focus into what we’ll be offering. That’s for another post, though.

We’ve already moved into our new office space, and we’re attempting to establish a pro-creative environment where collaboration and innovation become the norm. I’ve found that a bad environment can definitely take a toll on your productivity; likewise, a good environment can support and promote productivity. So a new office space with slightly off-white walls isn’t going to cut it for us. We’re planning on painting the walls, and here are some of the shades we’ve considered:

#790003 | RGB (121,0,3)

#889A65 | RGB (136,154,101)

#BABAA9 | RGB (186,186,169)

#807753 | RGB (128,119,83)

#262F4F | RGB (38,47,79)

Oh yeah, here is the one color within the office that we do have to match:

#62789D | RGB (8,20,157)

These tones cover the generality of that color, so for the green tone we might choose another shade, but it has to be a variation that will coincide with the static color that we can’t change (#62789D). We’re thinking the walls should be dark, so things like pictures, white boards, etc. will stand out and add character, rather than a white board hanging on a plain white wall. If you had to choose one of the shades above, what would you pick? Any other suggestions?
