Multicolr Search Lab: color search for Flickr
Flickr has hundreds of millions of photos, and extensive search functions to help you get to the ones you want. But Flickr users, being acreative, discerning bunch, need even more search types. Searching by color is particularly useful for designers, and Multicolr Search Lab, from Idée Inc., delivers it elegantly.
Multicolr searches over 3 million of Flickr's "interesting" images, delivering results that match the colors you specify. It's fast, returning results almost instantly when we tested it out. It's also powerful, able to match up to 10 colors at once. Multicolr is already a designer's dream. Just add a Creative-Commons-only checkbox, and it would be practically perfect.

I love these tools, but does anybody have a functional use for them besides playing? If so, I'd love to hear about it.

I use them to select photos that match my blog's color scheme... but agree with the review that it needs a "Creative Commons" checkbox so I don't have to go through every single photo that comes up. A "search terms" text box wouldn't hurt, either, for when I'm looking for something specific.
