[edit] Relevance

Most web designers and other professionals don't usually have color codes memorized. Color tools are used fairly heavily and so I feel it justifies an article. I will expand this article as I have time, and if others want to contribute, please do! (Bjorn Tipling 04:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC))

I like the idea. But that long list of external sites isnt a good foundation for an article, and is likely to get ruthlessly edited. I suggest you change the format/name of the article to something like Comparison of file archivers or even just List of file archivers. (See Wikipedia:List guideline for more info, and Category:Comparisons for more examples to steal code/ideas from). --Quiddity 06:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, good idea. I'll work on it. Thanks for the suggestion. (Bjorn Tipling 06:52, 4 July 2006 (UTC))

Perfect :)

Now, possibly it should be moved to something like List of color tools, but i'm not sure. No rush though, and it would depend on how much you expect to expand the intro paragraph. --Quiddity 22:01, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I expanded the article a bit. (Bjorn Tipling 01:20, 5 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Ordering

Is there a method to how the list is currently ordered? If not, I'm hoping to think of a good alternative to basic alphabetical; something that places the obviously superior tools near the top of the list, without being blatantly POV. Suggestions welcome. -Quiddity 18:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree, when I made the list I was just using Google search results for 'color tool' at first, and then I went through some other resources. I don't really know what criteria we could use to organize the list. (Bjorn Tipling 00:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC))
