Although it is well established that there is more to this than subjective choice the underlying rules are extremely complex and seldom formulated explicitly. Looking at thousands of natural scenes taken worldwide with highly complex spectroscopic apparatus scientists from Cambridge University determined that natural scenes have a highly complex (and mathematically precise) harmony and balance which requires complex multidimensional transformations from our normal methods of color representation to predict. It's an art that skilled designers learn to reproduce over many years - and the basis of a lot of great art and fashion.

All you have to do is to take a naturally harmonious scene and use your color dropper to pick out any colors in that scene for use as the basic colors on you web page and fonts. These will already have exactly the right color relationships. To give a web site a closely integrated look pick the colours from the actual images used on the home page. To get a radical, arty look pick colors from a great art masterpiece in the same way.
