[WSG] Colour Scheme aids
Not sure if this is off-topic or not. If it is, I apologise now. But I hope it isnt off-topic, so Ill continue . Does anyone have a favourite colour scheme tool? What Im looking for is a tool for design-challenged klutzes like me (well ok its actually FOR me. I admit it!) where I can take a couple of given colours such as in a logo, and create a suggested colour scheme for a site? With alternative contrasting or complementary colours. I can spend as long trying to work out colours as I can on the whole rest of the designing process. I have read plenty of tutorials on the subject, so thats not what Im looking for. The trouble is, every tutorial I read makes it more obvious that Im a ditz when it comes to colour and design. (Something my wife has been telling me for 30 years). I get more and more confused as I read more. What Id like to find is something I saw once years ago and cant find any more Id like to enter say two colours that I get from a logo, and click to get a few colour scheme suggestions that would work together with those colours. From there I could refine the lighter and darker colours I need using my own blender tool on my web site. (If you havent seen that, Im really proud of it. Its the first design tool Ive ever made. Its at http://afpwebworks.com/ColourSchemer/index.cfm - you put in the starting colour, and the finishing colour, and the number of steps you want up to 20 and itll give you the values of the 20 steps from one colour to the other, with blocks and text in those colours. ) Anyway, can anyone help me out with a colour scheme design tool please?

Color Index is a permanent resident at my desk. Not exactly a tool,
but a good reference.
