Choosing the right colour palette

If you have a look around the web, you’ll notice that most websites have one or two main colours and then a few others are used as accents. Most of us, when working on a new design, have one or two colours to start with and then we need to find a few others. Finding the right colour palette can be quite difficult.

Kuler.com is by far the funkiest tool I’ve seen so far for creating palettes. They’ve also created a community where members can create palettes, publish them and these can then be rated. Their selection of highest rated palettes would be a great place to start on your next design project.
