Is there a good resource or tool to help build a palette/color scheme around colors I select?
Is there any way or tool to choose the best color scheme for a web site?
I'm looking the best colors to use for a corporate web site. I'm just in the beginning of my design process.
Adobe's Kuler is a good way to hunt for colour schemes and experiment with different palettes.
Unfortunately, Kuler requires Flash. If you have Photoshop or Illustrator, you can use the Kuler panel.
For a corporate site you want to use a limited palate. Suits don't tend to like wild colors. Use toned down colors for most things (your primary site color can be a little punchier, but not super intense generally). Triadic or Split Complementary is probably best, though Analogous can work too.
I love the ability to search palettes on http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes. This is very useful if you already have a specific color (such as in a logo) and you need suggestions of coordinating colors.
