If you want to learn the "grammar" of color to avoid visual mistakes, just watch this wonderful video from Richard (Dick) Nelson, creator of the color matrix. Nelson, who studied with Josef Albers at Yale, used animation to build a 3D color wheel illustrating the dimensions of color relationships. The video is part of Nelson's Dimensions of Color series.
See more of Nelson's work here.
My thanks to Deborah Barlow at Slow Muse who introduced me to the great site Color Is Relative (lots to explore there). Also enjoy the interactive Same Same or Different site; it's equally engaging.

you use colour in your poems, and it always looks good.
This was just superb!
Cool! (Is "cool" a shade, a tint or a tone?)
What fun this video is. And it helps me in a current project: need to choose 10 different colors for a sweater I'm going to make.
