I've always had trouble making color schemes and using color to its full potential in my designs. So I started looking for resources to help me with this. Here are a couple good sites I've found.

Colour Lovers - the best site! Its so fun.
Color Schemer
Mezzoblue Article
Adam Polselli - interesting site
Color Combos

Anyone else have a tough time with choosing colors? Any other good sites?

http://pantone.com/

its a big book of color swatches that graphic designers use to show them what exactly the color they are using will look like once it is printed. for example adobe illusrator has pantone swatches in its color swatches tool bar. if you those colors they will look exactly like the pantone color that was printed in the book once you print your work.
