Right color combination is the most important element in design, both the printing environment and the internet. Color has a direct impact on humans. Human brain identify an element first from the shape and after from the color.
Professional designers not use random color combinations. Each color affect different the human brain and mood. One beautifull website that I first saw several years ago about color communication and symbolism is color in motion by Maria Claudia Cortes.
In this article i’ll refer some useful tools that i have tasted before for the right color combination on color wheel. A great on line application that allows you to produce your own color theme, or choose one of several color themes created by other users is Kuler

You can edit, add or remove colors from the color palette you choose to fit perfectly your requirements.
Create a new color theme from color

- Choose create from the left menu
- Place mouse over the square and you ll see two options ‘Set as Base’ and ‘Remove Color’.
- Remove four of the five colors.

- One color has remained. Edit the color codes and choose the profile you want RGB, CMYC, LAB, HCV and HEX or drag the circle inside the color wheel to select the color manually.
- Set it as based color.
- Choose the right rule for you, Analogous, Monochromatic, Coplementary, Triad etc. from the menu on the left.
