Good colour schemes. I am a web designer but struggle with the graphic design element of web design, so find colour schemes like this very useful.

Thanks for sharing this, I've been using Kuler for a while but there are some other really nice tools there, well worth checking out.

Sweet! It's like I don't have to think anymore. These color tools are great beyond design, too. I've used them to find colors to paint my house. Print them out, then bring them Lowe's!

I've been on the Vandelay blog before, but I must have missed that post. I struggle with this as well at times and while most clients don't seem to notice (or care) I did always wonder where to learn more about picking colours that work well together. Thanks for letting us know about your find!
