http://kuler.adobe.com/ is a really good resource for this. You can name a general description of a color you want ("dirt" or "angry" or "light blue" or "cloudy"), and you'll get a ton of color combos, with a ton of complimentary colors thrown in for free.

I find the color schemes don't translate well to a web design from the format that they present on Kuler. But maybe that's just me.

I personally use Kuler's color picker (http://kuler.adobe.com/#create/fromacolor) for my color schemes. It works really, really well.
