Found a fascinating color theory tutorial, including links to additional resources and a bibliography:

This is general stuff, easy to read and organized so that it's amenable to topic hopping. It's applicable to paper documents, application & web design, or simply making sure your chosen Windows color palette won't give you a siezure.
Simply reading the section about Perceptual Opposites led me to an "aha!" moment, when I finally understood why some colors just look nasty together, like they want to vibrate each other off the screen. I'd subconciously recognized the phenomenon, but now I know why that happens.
Unfortunately none of this will not stop Mrs. Maximus from painting the kitchen green.

nice find.. i'm one of those color-idiots. i have no idea what colors go together and can't seem to comprehend it when i try to learn.

Thanks Ralf, looks good :Thmbsup:

Between years of my husband's team jerseys and crazy color sweatpants and my daughter's fashion rebellion (deliberately wearing colors & styles that clash) I lost my sense of what looks good together. :(

It's a fact - women perceive colour better than men! (Not including Mrs. Maximus!) ;)

I'd say women just worry about color more than men. Men are more practical about what they care about. Like a woman in a red dress. Or out of a red dress. ;D

You proved my point! ;D
