ColorzSkin 2.0 for Plone 2.x
The two modules in the package
Colorz 2.0
Colorz is a standard Zope product, and can be used to generate derived colors from a few basic colors. Using standard color theory. This makes it extremely easy to generate reusable color schemes. Colorz can be used without ColorzSkin.
The purpose of the Colorz product is to ease color management. This is especially useful for designers.
Colorz is usable in many situations.
- It can automatically generate a color scheme for an entire web site from only one single color!
- It serves as a single color repository for a web site.
- You can change the color scheme for a branch of a web site, or for the entire site without having to change any code.
- In systems like Plone, where changing the colors very often is part of site customization procedure, Colorz makes it possible to change all colors on a site by changing just the main color. The rest of the colors on the site will automatically adjust to this color by automatically generating an new color scheme following standard color theory.
- When you are doing a draft layout, you usually skip back and forth between DreamWeaver, Photoshop and you browser. By using Colorz you can make preliminary layouts a lot simpler. You can also test out which color scheme will be good for a main color.
The Colorz product is also an interactive tutor of color theory :-)
You can also try it out just because it is fun to play with colors.

ColorzSkin 2.0
It is relatively easy to create new skins for Plone-based sites. But if you want to change the colorscheme of a site, you have to change color values in many different places.
For it to look good, you have to know something about color theory.
The ColorzSkin products makes it easy to use the colorz product in Plone. You can easily create a new Plone skin in a different style, using different color schemes. Most of the work is done for you automatically.
Best of all, you don't have to know anything about color theory to use it.
It can also create skins that can be reused to a much higher degree. Basically you can have a series of standard layouts, and just enter a customers logo color, and make the skin automatically match it.
ColorzSkin depends on Colorz, and cannot be used without it.
