I clipped a page from some magazine about color. Here''s some sites on the page:

colormatters.com
pantone.com
colorsontheweb.com
bhg.com
brides.com/color

I haven''t checked any but I hope that helps!

Here''s also the 4 steps the page suggested to picking a color palette:
1-Name your favorite colors. Buy a big box of Crayola''s and pull out the shade "that really rings your chimes".
2-Work with your space. If the colors you like clash w/the room, you may still be able to use your fav. shade as an accent.
3-Think about flowers. Let your flower choices inspire your colors.
4-Go with the season. Dark better in cool months, lights and brights in warm weather.
