http://choosemycolors.com/ was started by a local painting company to help their customers decide what colors to choose when they want to paint their house. Someone can upload a picture of their house, the company loads it into the program, and they are able to choose from 1000s of customizable colors. This helps the person who wants to paint their house if they are not sure what color scheme to go with and want an idea of what their house would look like a specific color.
The flash part comes in when you start to actually put the colors on the house. A palette comes up which lets you drag colors to a set of swatches. These swatches control the color of certain areas like the garage or the trim. It is easy to use and you can check out a lot of different colors in short amount of time. You can also save a specific color scheme so that you could make a new one and then go back to the old one to compare it to make it better. The color names come up on the side so that once you knew what you wanted to do you could go to Home Depot and get those exact colors.
The site is pretty simple and straight forward but it caught my attention because it is something that is useful and functional. It is a good example of a well designed website that is capable of making a profit.
