Color Palettes

[Bohner]

Does anyone have some good color palletes for coloring characters in Illustrator? I've searched google, but found nothing interesting.

Named colors would be nice.

I'm interested in this also.

But more than anything, a site with colour theory and techniques, and how to create appropriate palletes, etc.

Something you don't really learn at uni (do you really learn anything in a design course?)

Don't ask me, my intrests in graphics is completly different from my collage field of study.

www.colourlovers.com made by our own superman-in-training forum-pimp, Darius Monsef offers good little palettes when you run out of ideas....

A good way to choose colors is to take them from a real photographs (good quality ones, search stock image sites). I have to do this for uni (and paint the whole thing using primary colros).
