Colour Schemes - Advice Needed

ErinGoBrath · 2005-10-26 15:42:45

Hi All, For some reason when I'm putting layouts or logo's together I can't seem to get the colours to look correct. For example how would you know what shade of blue to put with a certain shade of yellow. Is this what swatches are for? Help! Andy
