Flickr is  the best online photo management and sharing application in the world. It has a ton images available for browsing through. Multicolr Search sifts through over 3 million “interesting” Flickr photos, and zeroes in on up to 10 colors of your choice. You can make one color more prominent by selecting it multiple times, and the results seem pretty genuine.  You want to see photos with pink and blue? Then select those colors from the Multicolr palette, and the Search Lab will bring you 30 photos at a time to drool over. Similar to ColourLovers but with photos, The Multicolr Search Lab is amazing tool that does an excellent job of finding great images. Further looking around the site confirms this, but also mentions about the algorithms used. When searching on colors, the images returned not only has the colors that matched, but the images returned seemed to range from those most saturated with this color to those less. Adding more colors adjusts the ratio of color saturation in the image. You not only get images matching the colors you pick, you get the best images matching the colors you picked. Really excellent work.
