Just type a keyword or URL into the TouchGraph Google tool. The application will analyze Google’s database of related sites and create a graphical relationship of networks. It’s a great way to visualize how websites are linked to each other.

For example you can see on the picture below the connection of the “http://www.bbc.co.uk/”

This community website based on the world of colour, follows colour news and trends, as well as featuring interesting user created colour palettes. Recently they did a great blog post on Color Inspiration from the Masters of Painting, featuring pieces of art from some of greatest masters of painting, and how they inspire us with color.

If you’re ever struggling to define the colours of a project you need to visit this site.
