two more colour scheme pickers:

Color Scheme Generator (www.colormatch.dk)
This colour scheme choosing software gives you sliders to control the amount of red green and blue of a base colour and then picks 6 different colours that always go together. It is very easy and quick to move the sliders to get a colour scheme that you like.

Color Scheme Generator Color Scheme Generator (wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html)
This colour scheme choosing software picks 4 colours and shows you how they go together. Can also test how colour-blind people see the colours.
