Good game: try and see how few colors you can pick to get pictures of dogs, birds, cars, and other things.

Pretty, but commits the first sin: no tonal range.

Wrong approach. Going nowhere.

I think it has it’s uses. Trying to find stock photography based on color is quite often a futile process.

To an extent, you create your own tonal range. Sometimes tonal range isn’t necessarily what you’re looking for. I could see using this to find high impact photos that match up to strong color schemes.

Thanks for taking the time to support a service you don’t and aren’t using.

I think it’s a good toy to show their technology and not a “stand alone” webapp.

Anyway, I’m playing with it when I’m bored, it’s total eye-candy :)

this is great. it’s definitely a fun way to just seen interesting photos on flickr, and i’ve definitely tried to find something to fit into a web space many times, but had no easy way to find something matching in color. content isn’t always the most important thing… color can be crucial to a design. match this with compfight.com and you have a pretty sweet flickr finder.

Wow, inspiration for the day. An interesting way to look through photos for sure.
