Colour issues

I don't know if you've ever had problems choosing colors, but I can say that it does bother me a lot. What bothers me the most is how colours match.
Couple years ago I heard a good piece of advice from TV. It was a program on how to dress and the "victim" of style gurus had a problem of matching colours. Besides everything this person really liked butterflies. So one of the "gurus" said that to develop a good taste for colours that person could buy a photo-album of butterflies and see how the nature itself matches colours.
I consider it to be a very good advice which concerns not only clothes but interior and crafts as well.
And some pictures for inspiration :)

Personally I'm not a big fun of long speeches "Steve Jobs style", I prefer short forms. So here is an example from a guy with a symbolic surname:
