These are excellent web resources which are really useful for choosing colour schemes:

Colour Scheme Picker: http://www.pixy.cz/apps/barvy/index-en.html
A terrific interactive colour picker allowing you to choose from a colour wheel and generate colour schemas (eg monochromatic, complement, split complements, etc), and allowing you to cater for different types of colour deficiency.
Limov Colour Selector: http://www.limov.com/colour
An even more terrific interactive colour picker which, amongst other things, allows you to generate swatches from a base colour varying by H S & L - brilliant for creating subtle shades. Very useful when you want to create subtle colour effects.
Web Color Gallery: http://graphicdesign.about.com/library/color/blweb.htm
A large collection of 3- and 4-colour swatches of different themes for use on websites created by a graphic designer, handy for when you want a colour scheme for a particular effect quickly. Also handy for showing to clients and asking them to pick a colour scheme they like.

Paintshop Pro: http://www.jasc.com/products/paintshoppro/
a good bitmap editor
