what they want is for you to demonstrate your colour palatte of the piece of artwork you have done,just say you did a still life of a bowl of fruit,you would take the dominant colours of the artwork and demonstrate them on another page by contrasting the yellow bananna with the orange or the green grapes with the plums just show something colourful and contrasting meaning the colours sit beside together and bounse off each other..... if you add white to your colours you can grade the colour from yellow to bright yellow,also look at colour wheels,they start off with the primary colours red,yellow,blue.... and when merged they create the secondry colours,orange,green,,brown,purple etc .... also remember you can use black n white to demonstrate shade....

BEST site I know of

I don't know any websites but you could try colour charts from a paint shop(house paint that is).Some of the big paint companies might have them on their websites.
