Colour combinations

[LeeIs]

Hi all,
First post of several thousands (I hope). I didn't know where to ask this question so I settled for the general forum. If in doubt go general!

I was wondering if anyone knows a site where they have LOTS of color combinations. I've tried googling it and found maybe one or two that were any good. The better one had about a hundred. I was looking for more.

I know I can mix my own colours and do regularly, but I'm quite sure there will be a few combinations that I couldn't imagine but fall in love with.

Thanks in advance.

Print or web?

Care to post the ones that you have found?

I don't know of any websites but I bet a few google searches will reveal something. Also there are tons of books on color that you could pick up at a book store. I have Color Harmony which I find very informative with tons of color combos included.

Hey, that's a great site.

Especially if you're a lazy ass like me.

No problem guys - my bookmarks tab is full of great links....most of them are porn related, but some are quite useful. ;)

Most of my links are corn related, someone's gotta keep an eye on them sons-a-bitches!

To the tune of Eye of the Tiger from Survivor

Risin' up, out in the fields
Corn is growing, corn is planning
Hear them in the distance talk of their plan
Against humans and their will to survive

So many times you eat it too fast
You should of traded the corn for the cabbage
Don't lose your grip on that ear in your hands
Even eating them only keeps them alive

I'm the eye of corn field, I'm the eye in the night
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
I'll be the last known survivor stalking corn in the night
I'm watchin out for us all with my eye on the corn fields


~Yeah I have some time on my hands

Thanks for all the replies and that link is great indeed.

It doesn't matter web or print as we can convert either to a colour close enough. Here's the link that I was talking about (http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/design/14.php3)
I should've posted it the first time.
