If you missed the color course in college or habitually spend a small fortune on paint tester cans only to throw recycle them, you can (unlike at the paint service desk at Home Depot) get really good color help online. On the web, there are professional color palettes from infinite sources to help you out. Here's a few unearthed from Fuzzy Future to help you find the perfect color match for your design project:

ColorBlender
You can slide the RGB buttons to create a core color which then automatically creates a coordinating palette.




DeGraeve
Input the URL of an image and the site will generate a lovely palette to match.



Kuler
Kuler from Adobe Labs helps you create endless colors and you always come out looking like a pro.



EasyRGB
Match your RGB values to real color paint lines (including Sherwin Williams), inks, fandecks, etc.

kuler - Slick social color picker from Adobe

I'm not sure I've ever understood the web's obsession with color pickers, i.e. apps that help you build color schemes for whatever you're trying to design. Maybe that means I'm good at designing my own color schemes, or maybe it means that I'm really, really bad at it. At any rate, some of them are pretty cool, including kuler, a newish one from Adobe Labs. Characteristically, kuler is Flash-based and has a very slick interface. For creating color schemes you have a lot of help: there are analogous, monochromatic, triad, complementary, compound, shades, and custom modes, most of which are Greek to me but the little multiple-spoked color wheel is fun to play with. More interesting, though, is kuler's social aspect: If you create an account and log in you can save and share your color themes with other users, and rate the themes others have created. Though Flash interfaces aren't always my cup of tea, kuler is fun to use and great if you're looking for a little inspiration.
