Yes, the private beta stage has begun! A select group of users have been invited to try out and test the features of ColorExplorer.
There is still work going on polishing the user interface and tweaking the features, but I expect to announce the launch date within the next few days. Right now, I am looking at a day somewhere in the very early September.
As usual with my project, new ideas keep popping up, but at this moment focus is on getting a fully functional (and more or less bug free) version online.
Stay tuned for launch date!

The horrible "summer weather" here in Denmark has allowed me to make some serious progress in the process of reaching beta stage with ColorExplorer.
Most of the site framework has been ported from the initial Classic ASP and MySQL to ASP.NET and MS SQL; Yahoo YUI has been used for nice client side scripting; and a bunch of new ideas has sprung to life.
I hope to be able to open for a closed beta stage within very short time (a few weeks from now). After a closed beta period of 3-4 weeks, the site should be ready for public beta.

It's been quite a while since I published my first color matching tool, ColorMatch 5K - it's been 8 years actually. The tool is still online (and well) but is steadily loosing traffic to my increasingly popular "alteration", namely ColorBlender.
With the huge amount of positive feedback I have received on ColorBlender during the last years I have felt extremely inspired to do some more development in the same genre. That's why I during the last 2 years have been prototyping (on and off) a brand new color oriented web site.
The new site, named ColorExplorer, is not yet ready for public display but it is now so far into development that I have decided to speak about it publically :-)
This blog will serve to inform about the development progress, announcements with regards to public beta, and of course final release.
