I was reading my weekly Web Dev Newsletter and I came across the following tool - Designer’s Plaything. I tried it out and it’s slightly addictive.

From the site:

A tool for designers and clients to experiment with different typography and colour combinations on a web page as well as check for colour accessibility level.

It’s available online and as a downloadable standalone app—which brings me to an interesting suggestion they have for using it…

As a standalone web application Designer Plaything can be passed to clients or designers alike so that they can easily explore different layout combinations and express them clearly and precisely back to you.

Give it a shot and have your own plaything for a while. Heck, maybe you could even do something useful and work-related, but only if you feel it’s absolutely necessary.
