The Inspiration Stream: Search for Inspiration based on color
A wonderful graphic design inspiration blog with a fun feature that allows you to search for inspiration based on html hex color. For each design uploaded a hex color is chosen from the overall image map.

Seamless Pattern Design & Layout tool
Obviously it’s a little restrictive as far as what you’re able to actually do… They make you create an account, to save any patterns or to make one then color it. However if you’re looking to make a simple patterned background and don’t want to take the time to try to figure out how to make it repeat, try it!
