Friendly Color Combinations for Web Pages
Posted by David Kirk in HTML
Here are some hints for getting a good color combination for your web page.
I am a typical guy without fashion or color-sense. I barely can match my clothes. You can imagine that picking out good colors for a website I find very difficult. These are the tools that I typically use.
Input your main colors, and the site will suggest other colors that will blend nicely.

Colors in the site plays an important role in the look also it some how effect the visitor that how long he will stay on your site, so it becomes very important to choose the right color combination for your site. Tools you’ve suggested are really useful but I would rather suggest to pick those which you like yourself
