Need some fresh ideas for color selection and palette creation in your training project? Check out myPANTONE. An interactive color workspace, the software aids in locating and identifying information relevant to color and color combinations and provides ways to create, use and manage color palettes. myPANTONE palettes works in conjunction with the myPANTONE community by enabling the upload and download of favorite colors and palettes.
I usually leave this to the graphic artists - but have to admit that the site sucked me in for a while and inspired me to create color combinations on my own. You'll get the hex and RGB codes so you can use the exact color you want in your project.
