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?
The context manual has a good chapter on colors and how to use them: http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/cont-enp.pdf I'm also using the following site to generate color schemes that are not ugly: http://colorschemedesigner.com/ My 2 cents worth, -AJ

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
