Very cool!

Clever site...

You can choose your own colours if you like: just modify the URL. For instance, this searches for images with full red, green and blue respectively:

[labs.ideeinc.com]

Nice tool.

>> my only complaint is that you have to find the colors with your eyes,
>> and can't put in hexadecimal or RGB values grabbed from graphics programs.
You can by tweaking the URL. You specify the colors comma separated:
E.g.
[http]://labs.ideeinc.com/multicolr/#colors=6cc5fa,6ccbbb,a439ef;

This is sweet. It would be great for making those pictures out of photo collages.

The visual search lab from idee inc. is very cool too. Not only does it colour match, but it also searches for like photos. So if there's a blue to white radial gradient behind a person standing dead center, the search will return other images with similar gradient backgrounds and person-like objects in the center.

Cool!

ben.shepherd beat me to it.

Here's some url modding instructions:

1. Start with the base url:
[labs.ideeinc.com]

2. Append the hex code for each colour you want to search, separated by a comma, and ending with a semicolon.

Red, Green, Blue Example (from ben.shepherd):
[labs.ideeinc.com]

Oh and for the record it's actually pretty good and finding what you want, but not perfect.

Doing the iconic Smoke on the Water opening came back with this:

Melody
Stephen

Bruno Pizzul
To Madar

Smoke On The Water
Creedance Clearwater Revival

Smoke On The Water
Boston

Smoke On The Water
Jimi Hendrix



So not too bad.

@lechercheurtrove:

There's already this: [www.songtapper.com]

Tap out the beat on your sapcebar and it trys to find the song.

twvogels

truly ingenious. next, we need a search engine that finds songs based on the user whistling a few bars :)

Oh wow. This site is made of win.

This is what happens whenever you select more than 10 colors at once in a quick succession.

Excellent tool!!

Now if only you could search by color AND keyword, it would be infinitely more useful.

Thanks a lot for introducing this great web app Kevin. I suggest that this tool to be used in combination with [kuler.adobe.com]

You could easily put up together a sweet-looking websites with suitable images without the need to take the longer way and look for images individually.

Just curious... Does the search filter by photo license? I doesn't appear to when I tried it. Most of the images I got were marked "all rights reserved."

Of course, you could still take them, but as a Flickr photographer myself, I'm wary of such searches that encourage the taking of licensed photos (not that you'd want mine anyway.) :-)

How is THIS picture "interesting"?

[www.flickr.com]

Oh, and PicLens would do this website good.

This smart search tool made me think of Retrievr, which Lifehacker mentioned a while back. It enables you to search Flickr by sketching what you're looking for. Definitely not accurate but kind of fun nonetheless. The article about it is here: [lifehacker.com]

[www.picitup.com] is a much better option than this tool, it has yahoo, flickr and google picasa web searches and it enables color search, similarity search, shape search and for flickr, a search by license (Creative Commons) and visual favorites and history pages.
I've started using it a week ago and it's just awesome.
