photo credit: knitsteelI really only enough about web design to be dangerous- I’ve just been far too busy/lazy to learn how to be a good designer, and there’s really no point in aspiring to mediocrity. Except of course, to know enough about whether you’re hiring a good designer. 
Nowadays, I am still able to tweak a pre-packaged design, but i frequently get annoyed by two things.
- Not knowing what a particular color hex code combination corresponds to in the browser
- Not knowing the hex code of a color or group of colors I’d like to use
The two tools that helped me were Color Combo’s color combination tool and a color chooser.
The color combination tool not only gave me suggestions of what colors play nice together, but also let me cut and paste different colors in and displayed them - this helps a lot in that situation where you want to get rid of one grey but not another.
The color chooser made it easy for me to find more colors to fill in the gaps when switching out one color for another that fit better into my design ideas.
What kind of tools do you use when you’re messing around with your blog design?
