How to choose colors for a website?
I'm pretty good with design and layout, but I SUCK at choosing color schemes. Does anyone know of a good tool or resource out there that helps color-challenged people like me?
Right, or rather, "...here are colors that look good with the chosen color." I just don't have an eye for those things. I know there's color theory, but I honestly don't have time to learn it (nor the inclination).JPlush76 wrote:Like a site that says if you use this color here are the colors that go with it.

did a search on google:

and the first hit was this:

which at first glance (haven't looked through it yet) looks very good and seems to be exactly what your looking for.

Thanks for the link! Yep, that's pretty close to what I wanted. I also found a program that allows you to enter a color value and it returns colors that are related to it. So, it doesn't necessarily develop a scheme for you, but it does give you options to choose from that "should" look good together. It also lets you build a preview of what the colors will look like, including links.

It only comes with a 15-day eval, but it's only $25 to buy. I've only used it for a day so far, but it has helped a bit.
