Hi Cecil,
I am working with a flowchart. I would like to have the background of the flowchart, different from the background the flowchart is on. I do not know much about color combinations. (Just enough to know what I tried were not good choices.) Is there a site with good pointers about color combinations?
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
