The Commons–Color.

Another resource that I use for free images is The Commons on Flickr.

The key goal of The Commons is to share hidden treasures from the world’s public photography archives.

The following images are a few of the many results on a search on “color” in The Commons. (Click on any image to go to the corresponding image page on Flickr)
