I use DrPython sometimes, and am happy with it.

creating color tuples in your head gets pretty easy if you can memorize 
the color wheel for light. If all you know is the color wheel for 
paint, it is easy to get confused.

A detailed description is at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model

But if you just want a tool to figure it out for you, why not write a 
little pygame app that shows a color wheel and generates the RGB tuple 
for where you click?
