ColorSchemeDesigne and Kuler

Hi, everybody

I’ve been used for color matching this resource - CSD

After watching lesson by Nick P. decided to try KULER

But at the beginning tested both CSD and Kuler, and found that final color sets on CSD and Kuler are differ.

ForExmpl. Set from ColorScheme (Complementary Color: FF0000 00CC00 ; BF3030 269926 ; A60000 008500 ; FF4040 39E639 ; FF7373 67E667) base color is Red (FF0000),

and the same (base color is Red) at Kuler: FF0000 00FF48 ; FF1919 0BB23A ; B20E0E

Total mismatch

What I did wrong?

And how to choose from this sets correct bg-color and foreground color? Confused :-/

The two sites use different algorithms for their color sets. In this instance, you either need to either choose one site and stick with one, or import previous color sets into kuler using the custom set and manually set each of your CSD values.
