I'd suggest the following book:
Tina Sutton, Bride M Whelan: The Complete Color Harmony. Rockport
Publishers (2004). ISBN 978-1592530311
After explaining a bit of colour theory it lists (CMYK) swatches of
various colour combinations organized by purpose and mood. I own the
book myself and find it an excellent companion for any decision about
colours. Costs are roughly 20 €.
Hope that'll help.
Cheers,
Oliver
