If you're wanting to get some colours together that will appeal to
your client,  or you're unsure what to suggest, there's an old trick
they use in textile and interior design retail stores - curtain
fabrics and upholstery fabrics etc .....

They have swatches of things that have hundreds of colours, but when
you are shown (say) a wallpaper or a carpet swatch, if they havent had
a cue from you what colours you like,  they'll flick the swatch book
open to a shade of a colour you're wearing.   If you're wearing a blue
shirt when you go looking for curtain fabrics,   they'll show you
patterns involving blues, unless you've given them some indication
what colours you're looking for.

For us in the web site business, the same technique can be used.  If
you have no other cues from the client about their likes and dislikes,
  pick colours out of their logo, or something your client is wearing
- at least you know they like that colour (presumably).

Yes it doesnt always work.  There'll always be someone who hates blue
but is wearing the blue shirt because it's the only clean one left in
the drawer but it's a reasonable starting point in most cases.
