The Color Hunt browser extension serves up a random, pretty color palette every time its user opens a new tab.
Normally, when a new tab is opened in a browser, the image that comes up before the user enters their destination is a generic photograph or doodle. With the Color Tab extension, the new tab will instead contain a miniature burst of color inspiration. A series of colored stripes forming a coordinated combination will appear in the new tab space.
The color palettes are drawn from the most popular selections on Color Hunt, a website where users can create and vote on sets of colors and shades. For artists and designers, it can be a great way to experiment with paint colors. For others, it's just fun!
