Color Scheme

Are there any good websites that discuss good color schemes to use for
spreadsheets?

Can't point you to any sites I'm afraid, but personally I like to keep
colour schemes simple, use pastel colours as opposed to bright garish ones,
and only use colour where necessary in order to highlight data, or a section
of data, eg totals, subtotals etc. If you do it regularly then try to keep
some consistency to the colours you use.
