COLOURlovers gives the people who use color - whether for ad campaigns, product design, or in architectural specification - a place to check out a world of color, compare color palettes, submit news and comments, and read color related articles and interviews."

You can also use a larger pic/graphic as a Twitter background.

Make it at least 1280 by 1024 pixels and maybe even bigger, to around 1600 x 1200.

Here's some places to find great looking photos with "usage rights". I put MorgueFiles first because they have the most liberal usage rights with few restrictions:
