Brands Colors Database

===============

This is the database of the colors for the brands used in toolbelt.pixelapse.com/color. We compiled an original list of 160 brands with more than 200 colors for our color tool. With it, we hope to provide more information to designers to aid them in their color choices.

Feel free to add more brand colors to this list!

##Examples

You can easily search for colors used by various brands here: http://toolbelt.pixelapse.com/color. Below are some examples the database in action:
