Color Reference: Where do you get your ideas? [closed]

Question

I am the only dev in a very small IT shop and as such I have no one to turn to when it comes to the look of my applications. I am left to my own devices as to what looks good with what and what matches what.

This got me wondering, where do other programmers get their color ideas?

Am I the only programmer who likes all of his apps in grayscale?

What are some sites, books, apps, tips and tricks to giving your custom built application some vibrance and life that end users MIGHT actually appreciate?

Answer 1

I suggest Adobe's Kuler. You can bring in an image, like a logo, and have it suggest a set of 5 colors that work well together. Lots of different options. Also lets you save your palettes. You can then browse through other people's color combinations.
