Lloyd Dalton has created another experiment in tagging. This time, we get to tag colors.

At Colr.org, you can choose any color and tag it with any tag. A search for tags turns up all the colors with that tag.

You can also create a scheme, clustering colors you find copasetic. For example, search for “baby” tags and you’ll currently find six colors with that tag (e.g., “alice blue bambino”) and two schemes (“baby blue” and “baby pink”).

It will be interesting to see if we folksonomically develop color clusters. For example, if you tag a light blue as “sky,” it won’t be found when people search for blues, so you might want to add a “blue” tag as well. On the other hand, a search for “sky” turns up 11 blues already.

By the way, Lloyd is also the author of Plans, a free online calendar. (I like the fact that the Plans home page is not shy about listing the “competition.”)
