iPhone: Matchin’ color like it’s 1999….

Perhaps the UGLIEST iPhone app website to date….and it sells a color designer.

Okay - I’m a designer and I’m picky (although you can’t tell from the dumping ground this blog has become. Still…).

There’s nothing to prepare you for the 8-bit color flashback that is the Raisix Inc website, set up to sell its ColorMatch software for iPhone. (Click either link - it’s a 1-page site)

With all the aplomb of a ‘90s Powerpoint slide, it just dumps itself to your screen, as if sent by a color fax minion from Hell.

Enjoy - I’ve linked a 24-bit PNG screenshot (440k or so) to the thumbnail above, just so there’s no question that I’m messin’ with the site:

THRILL to the derring-do of creating a website with a 16-color pallet!
AWE yourself to the crispy masking techniques and the ever-so-tactile moire!
AMAZE your other designer friends! They’ll LOVE you for it!

Both cliqcliq Colors and Color Expert must be quaking in their boots!

When we shot this photo for the third cover of LIFE (the newspaper supplement version) back in September of 2004, we never dreamed we’d actually see it play out….or even anything this close.”

Hit that high note, pipe-boy…

Ever wish songs just sang what was happening in the music video? Well now they do.
