We’ve known developer/designer Sahil Lavingia for a while now and have continued to be impressed with the apps and services he puts out. One app in particular we’ve had our eye on is his color app Color Stream, an iPhone app that helps create & save color palettes… Something near and dear to our hearts.
So when the opportunity came along to acquire the app and provide continued color inspiration to the tens of thousands of Color Stream users, we jumped at the chance. And one of the reasons we made our iPhone app free is so all Color Stream users could switch over to our ColorSchemer app without having to re-buy anything. They’ll be joining the nearly 100,000 users of the ColorSchemer app and can continue to get the updates for our top color app at no extra cost.
If you’re a Color Stream user, now’s a great time to join the family and get the free ColorSchemer app to continue to receive updates with the latest and greatest features and integration with the COLOURlovers community.
The Color Stream app was a well-designed and built app that worked great for creating palettes from scratch, or from a photo… but the biggest thing it was missing was an awesome community of creative people to share those palettes with, and now that’s changing! We’re excited to extend our community to more and more creative people and we look forward to even more inspirations that this growing and diverse mix of new users will create.

Sahil will continue to work on his own creative projects and sadly won’t be joining the CL team… He’s just the kind of creative talent we look for.
Ever Wonder How a Palette Was Made?
On every palette page in the “About” section there is a little link to the tool used to create the palette, so if you were curious if a palette was made on our site or was beamed up from a mobile phone somewhere in the world… Now you know where to look.
To our Android & WinMo members… I’m sorry our happy announcement brings you more sadness that we don’t yet have an app for you to love colors on the go. Fret not, we continue to work on this and will get you something… If you’re a killer android dev or know one, you can help us speed up this process by sending us an email. :)
