I have heard good things about the following online design app - http://www.plan3d.com, and have also used Punch3d.

If you wanted to use your own picture of a room, I have used the following app to great effect for web graphics but it will do what you want perfectly:

Valtti do one that I have used - costs a few euros, but piece of p!ss to use. Only does their own colour range though, but good to give you an idea of what different colours might look like:

Thank you for your responses. I ended up purchasing CBN Selector 3 by the same company that maintains http://www.colorcharts.org and worked really well, highly recommended. It allowed me to download and visualize colors from most of the major manufacturers which was an added bonus. Thanks for your responses.
