robots.color

This is a free, hosted utility that reads a .gif file, extracts the colors, then allows you to supply your CSS colors (sed extraction script provided), and generates sed commands to change the colors in your CSS files to match those of the image. You can use it to quickly map a design comp's colors into an application skin, or take a screenshot of an existing site and map them into your CSS files. There is a demo running that allows you to upload an image and see it mapped into a b2evolution blog skin. Be sure to make a backup of your CSS files before running the generated commands. Requisite skills and access: * Very comfortable with Linux * SSH access Notes: * Assumes the design is in the CSS files (not .htm or .php) * Not intended to replace hand-coding, it serves as a first pass at substituting in new colors * Works best when the map is close to a one-to-one relationship, colors are lost if the image has many more colors than the skin
