Today, let's discover the search engines that find for you pictures corresponding to a new requirement: the colour.

Photo stock web sites usually put their catalogue online with some informative requirements (resolution, tags, type of rights,...) but rarely visual ones. Thanks to the new online search engines, this is now behind us.

Multicolour Search Lab, refined by Idée Labs, allows you to choose one or multiple predominant colours as a requirement in a stock photography web site. This tool works with copyrighted and also free licence pictures (Creative Commons rights).

In the same way Xcavator.net, from the company CogniSign, let you choose a tint in addition to the tag(s) you are looking for (or even a web colour code). That represents a quick way to find a picture in accordance with a certain visual identity.
