How creative are you? CREAX has a neat Creativity Self-Assessment Test that only takes a few minutes to complete and gives you a fairly detailed analysis of how creative you are.

colr.org is a very cool JavaScript application that will help you find colors for your next web design. There are user submitted schemes and colors that can be discovered by searching on tags.

I have pointed Digital Media Minute readers to a lot of these tools over the years as they become more sophisticated, and I have noticed the recent trend toward functionality that enables the user to make a make use of sample photos with color schemes already in place that you might like to copy.
