Picking the perfect color scheme can be a very daunting task, especially when you have a client that is indecisive or doesn’t have any type of corporate identity. In some situations you will need to start from scratch and find colors that “mesh well”, and in other cases you might need to find complimentary colors that blend well with your clients current color scheme. You can find hundreds if not thousands of color scheme generator’s that are very generic and rarely do the trick, so we have compiled this list of resources which we’ve found most useful when looking for that perfect color scheme.
