Etsy: shop by colour 22 Feb 2007

SensoryMetrics points us to Etsy's navigation system. (Etsy is a place for buying and selling handmade goods).

"What sets Etsy apart is its design: there's all sorts of participatory features from forums to chat rooms. The coolest thing is some of their wacky 'shop by' methods. There's the usual 'shop by category'. But there's also 'shop by color', which brings up this wild Electric Kool-Aid UI that bubbles up a rich color palette. Click on a color and a bunch of stickies appear with items that match your color selection. Move the stickies around, pick another color... It's a fun UI and worth checking out - especially if you're a pigment-phile!"

Wondering outloud if Etsy allows you to shop by a certain shade of purple?
