How To: Find a Picture By Color

I was going to do a random post of green pictures just because today is St. Patty’s day and I love the color green.  I thought I remembered one of the search engines searched by color but I wasn’t having much luck.  So then I went on a search and I found this tool that searches Flickr for colors you choose and it’s so smart!  I just had fun playing with the whole thing and actually enjoyed the grouping of pictures more than I enjoyed the individual pictures.

So I started with all the shades of green

And then I thought while those were cool, I love red too.

And wow!  I lurved that!  What about blue?

Or what if I stayed with the green but picked some lighter colors to give it some contrast?

Or what if I just stuck them all in there?

Or, wait, look at all the blue!

It’s all so pretty!

So just in case you’re on the hunt for pictures of a certain color or palette of colors, I think that’s your tool. And looky there, I ended up with a post of green pictures after all!
