Frequently when taking art classes the instructor will discuss color schemes in your art. Monotonic, Complementary, Adjacent, and Triad color schemes are those most frequently discussed. Even though this is common knowledge I find I need to be reminded regularly or I drift off course, using too many colors to have good color harmony in my work.
I recently learned about a website called "Color Scheme Designer" that is intended for web designers, but can be quite useful to painters as well. You can plan not only with the color schemes mentioned above but also Tetrad and Accented Analogic. While playing on this site http://colorschemedesigner.com/ I discovered I had used a Tetrad design in one of my most successful paintings this year. See if you agree?
For future reference I have added Color Scheme Designer to my links.
