Don’t worry!  Here are a couple tools to help you out.

ColorZilla FireFox plugin

ColorZilla is a free FireFox plugin that will allow you to grab the color from any web page.  This is a great tool to help you match a base color to a graphic or to a web page that you like.

Color Schemer Online

Color Schemer Online is a free tool that will take one color and create an entire palate of matching colors.  Also, it allows you to darken and lighten the color scheme with the click of a button.

Here’s what I do.  I find a graphic or website that has a color I like.  Then, I use ColorZilla to grab the HEX value for that color (“AF235B” for example).  Finally, I pop onto Color Schemer and paste in the HEX value and click the “Set HEX” button.

And by magic – a nice set of colors for me to use is displayed.
