You can also read a few articles on Medium there are some pretty useful to start learning about color theory.

You can also go to Dribbble or Behance to look for examples of other people's work to learn about how to create color palettes. Oh, and also, http://colorhunt.co/ pretty cool to get inspiration for color palettes. :)

You might find the Adobe Color Wheel very useful.

It's a great tool for developing color themes such as analogous, complementary, triad, and others.
