I'll be the first to admit that I'm not creative at all. My wife practically has to dress me in the mornings... I really have no eye for colors at all. In an effort to make my web site colors “pretty”, I had to find something to help me with the colors.

Of course, when designing web pages, colors aren't as simple as just Red, White or blue. You've got to know the either the HEX, RGB, or HSV values to really get the colors you want. CSS does allow for general colors to be named, but how many of you use just the general colors?

I found a couple of web sites that are helpful when picking colors or color schemes for web pages.

Fell free to add to the list if you have other you like.
