The upcoming Sept/Oct WF Vision magazine is our always popular Color issue and we're extending an invite to all iPhone groupies a unique way to get involved. For those of you who might not have heard the news, Sherwin Williams launched a fantastic little iPhone app earlier this year call ColorSnap. Take a look at the intro details on the ColorSnap home page, which includes a link to the free download. It's easy, fun, practical and addictive!
Share your ColorSnaps with the Vision community and be entered into a drawing for 5 Sherwin Williams Professional Color Files. Let us know what's inspiring you...a recent vacation? a beautiful floral display? an exotic fabric? What is it, what does it mean to you and how would you love to use it in a design? We’ll share your inspiration with our readers in the Color issue.
We've started a Flickr group for this and/or you can post to the Vision Facebook gallery, or feel free to simply e-mail us with your ColorSnap inspirations. Watch for the Sept./Oct. issue to see if your color inspiration made the pages and the drawing winners. Let's all go get creative!

ColorSnap is Genius!
In the weeks before NeoCon, I receive loads of press releases touting all the new products that were launched during the show. One in particular caught my eye - Sherwin Williams' Color Snap. This Apple iPhone application allows users to quickly and easily capture hues from their surroundings and match them to more than 1,500 Sherwin-Williams colors! So I downloaded the app to my shiny new iPhone before NeoCon and when I arrived at NeoCon I headed to the Sherwin William's booth to get a quick tutorial. This is how it works-Find a color you love, snap the photo and receive the matching Sherwin-Williams paint color and coordinating palette. You even get coordinating color schemes, and RGB numbers and can create your own inspiration library of saved colors. And it's free!
I have already used it several times matching colors while shopping for rugs for a new client. Definitely a must have for your Designer toolkit.
