One tool that I've really used any time I need to do any color work is color.adobe.com

I really liked the "random" feature on Coolers! Helped on a project I've been working on today -- thanks for sharing.

Oh yeah, feel free - no credit needed :)

One other thing I try to think about for color schemes is accessibility:

webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ can help make sure that text is readable over backgrounds

and color-blindness.com/coblis-color-b... can help test screenshots of layout with colorblindness filters to make sure things still "pop"

Oooh, that color-blindness site is clutch!
