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 =80. Hope that'll help.
