Color choosing by phi? or: What are the possibilities choosing colors using an algorithmPhi (the Golden Ratio)?

I recently sat down with a friend, and we hypothesized that Phi (the irrational number) and that it could be used to determine colors using an algorithm of a sort. So, so I came back home, and googled it - and low. Lo and behold, apperantly there'sapparently there is some validity to that claim.

And I was wondering the application of such thought, as I am pretty oblivious when it comes to graphic designingdesign, and was thinking this might make my job a whole lot easier.

So I was thinking this isn't just the difference in colors, but also the amount of each color black in a given canvas, so the question is: is

Is there a way to "algorithmically" calculate things which will appear beautiful when it comes to web designing, and the amount of canvas page i'llI'll need to take into account.

Any help or info on this subject will greatly help (to work less, and do more :-) ),

Thanks.
