The Adobe Kuler iPhone app is available starting today. Kuler is a cloud-based application for making and exploring color themes using an iPhone or your browser. Kuler now gives you multiple options to capture inspiring color themes whenever and wherever you come across them; capturing color inspiration on your iPhone, syncing colors in Illustrator, Photoshop, and other Adobe apps, or using the new Kuler website.

I haven’t had much time to play with this yet, but I can already see that this will be very handy. If you find a great color or combination of colors while browsing a website or wandering a store and you want to identify these colors for use in  in a Lightroom slideshow, web gallery, print layout or book layout, for example, Kuler will identify the colors via your iPhone camera phone and give you the hex color numbers to plug into Lightroom.

The Kuler iPhone app and website are both free:

– Use Kuler in your favorite browser: https://kuler.adobe.com/

– Download the brand new Kuler iPhone app
