I find that when I choose color schemes for my designs I end up falling back to my favorite colors over and over again, so when I need variety I’ve been using Adobe’s Kuler to find color inspiration. I love the way it works with CS3 so easily, and it seems to be the least buggy web program for creating color schemes for me. They recently updated the program so that you can tie it together with your Flickr account and create color schemes based on your images, your favorites, or any other photo you want. I love this feature as a way of introducing a little bit of controlled randomness into my creative process. One thing I noticed though, is that I am seriously lacking in the area of colorful pictures in my Flickr account.
