This is really nice -- much easier for a photographer like me to use that Kuler or the alternatives. I have a question though: is it cool to use "All Rights Reserved" images on Flickr for something like this? Clicking through some of the photos shows that they're marked as "All Rights Reserved". I'm asking because I made the decision to not use those on http://viewfinder.io/ http://viewfinder.io/ based on the fact that I'm not a lawyer and prefer to err on the side of caution. However, if it's not a legal problem to use copyrighted photos I could have much more data to play with, so I'm curious.

This is fair use, so the author's copyright wishes are not applicable. The copyright info applies to republication in full, not use in meta-analyses.

  Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but doesn't embedding the photo in the colorapi.com page count as "republication in full"?

    No more so than embedding it in a Google Images search. What it comes down to is: has anyone filed a DMCA claim yet?

Taking colour hint out of photos should not be a copyright infringement (although lawyers can prove otherwise).
