Sometimes the hardest part of sign design is choosing colors. Here's an interesting site that may help.....

Sonny, the hardest part is getting payment upfront for the design.

Probably mentioned before, but you can do the same with you own pictures using Kuler from Adobe.

Also available as an plug in for photoshop and Illustrator.

Teddy is right..I use Kuler both as an "app" that I keep available on the desktop and in Adobe. It's cool because you can try the "suggested" colors and then create your own palettes and save them!

I like Adobe's Kuler too. Here's another one I use a lot that has a color wheel function you can set up with mono, complementary, triad, analogous and accented analogous:

If you use an iPhone, iPod touch or an iPad, myPantone kicks butt for working with color.

$10, but worth ten times that. And the color chips won't fade with age! Guaranteed.

Bookmarked the colorscheme site thnx. As Don mentioned, I got the android version of MyPantone last year sometime. Not free but worth the 8 or 9 buck cost. You get free upgrades when new colors & charts become available. Still use the real fandeck to compare against phone version. Most colors seem close enough, considering whether on paper or on screen. With all the different virtual fandecks to select from, makes it a worthwhile investment.

Bill, I don't use myPantone for color matches so much. My primary use for it is to quickly pull together classy, original color schemes. Makes that task amazingly easy.

It's not bad at getting me in the ballpark for color matches, though. Not perfect, but sometimes even the Pantone decks don't match our prints...that's another topic.
