When I’m picking colors for an image sometimes I run out of ideas. Recently I’ve been playing around on this site : colourlovers.com and trying to store up some good color palettes for future use. I like to make palettes based on things I see in the world, especially the outfits of people I pass on the street. Here are some palettes I created on the colourlovers site:
this was a home decorating idea
this came from an illustration I was doing
This was inspired by a neighborhood woman who was wearing a sari
This was also a woman in a sari, with a winter coat on top and a black purse

I like the way you distill the colors from the context to create a distinct pallet. In design, the proportionate use of the individual colors can be effective as well. For example, the black purse of the lady in the sari could become a black accent color. Maybe light salmon would be 60%, the darker 20%, and so on, with black 5%. The unequal distribution tends to be very interesting visually.
