Day 12: January 12, 2010
In desperate need of some color, I bought myself a bunch of flowers at the supermarket.

This time of year, when Christmas is over, the trees are bare and snow covers the ground, I always start thinking about color. Multicolr is an elegant site that lets you browse by color through a huge collection of over ten million of the most interesting Creative Commons licensed photographs on Flickr.

The interface is simple — you click on up to ten colors, and as you make your selection, you see fifty pictures that feature those colors. It’s fast and easy…add or remove a color, and watch the selection change. Each thumbnail is linked to its photo page on Flickr, which is good because there are some beautiful pictures here and you’ll want to see them full size.

Multicolr is a public site from Idée, a company that develops image identification and visual search software for business and industry.
