I havent’ been to the above site yet, other than for a cursory glance, but it does seem to have some good pointers.

I was browsing around the web for a color wheel to help decide on some colors for a web site and found the following great sites.
First, about the meanings of color:
http://graphicdesign.about.com/od/color/a/colormeanings.htm so, once a main color is picked (say brown for the color of a grocery bag) then we can use the tools below to select the other color options and select them based on the meaning of color…well, I don’t know if that makes sense but I’m trying.
Now to pick colors:
http://www.webwhirlers.com/colors/default.asp This site has some great tools
http://www.ficml.org/jemimap/style/color/wheel.html with great point mouse interface for determining the html color.
http://chem.csustan.edu/JTB/HELP/COLOR/color-index.htm with a nice simple wheel.
http://shell-shocked.org/article.php?id=74 with a great explaination of web color combinations, particularly for the web. Also has info on graphic dithering.
http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html WoW. I’m not sure what it’s teaching but it’s a great toy to play with…maybe there is something there to learn.
