This site helps you to pick colour combinations based on different schemes:

And this one uses Phi - the golden ratio to pick combinations of colours:

You have to click where it says Here on the site or click on the picture to download it.

I love playing with colour and being a bit of a mathematician I am totally fascinated by the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci numbers. Even if you are not interested in the theory the combinations it comes up with are still very pretty don't you think?
