Default Color blending advice

Are there any sites/tools to help in blending basic colors to achieve non traditional colors? We have some basic stuff, but thought we might be able to blend a few of the basics to get our truly desired color...any advice???

Thanks,
Mickey

Start small. Good lighting. Easier to go from dark to light than visa-versa.

Search for "color wheel". Or go to the art store and buy one for a couple bucks. Surprisingly helpful tool.

The best thing you can do is buy a matching system (all the major manufacturers offer them). Just plunk your Pantone number in the
software and it spits out your formulation. Very cool.
