Book Recommendation for color.

[lava]

Ok, I just went out and bought a book on color. It's called "Color Index" by Jim Krause. It has about 1000 color combinations, and it's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm going to start making sites for money soon, and one of the things that worried me was how to pick colors. I'm not particularly creative in picking them, and I don't want to be bound by monochromatic, similar, etc... you know those rules. By accident I found this book at barnes and noble, and it's utterly amazing.

If you're planning to do design for a living, I suggest you go out and get this book.

theres also a great app called color schemer its awesome and cheap it even has a preview where you can put the colors you choose on a preview website its awesome i highly recommend it http://www.colorschemer.com

well yeah, but the problem is that programs like that, (I use one of those) is that they stick to traditional color rules. And you'll notice that most of the design out there doesn't stick to those rules.

I know color theory. My thing is that there are good color combinations that go outside of that.

I bought it on a whim. Besides... I couldn't have been able to see from amazon if this book was the right one. Plus, I don't like waiting for a book to be delivered.
