[Caligo 0]

I have noticed people having trouble with color schemes.Check out http://kuler.adobe.com/ If you look at the highest rated or most popular schemes you should get a better grip on what colors go with eachother.Play around on it, it's pretty cool.<<edited thread title>>

what kind of person are you ?

what kind of person are you ?

Not a very decorative/ graphical person, I can say that. It may be my lack of practice, or that I just don't have the talent in me. I guess that's what group projects (sourcefourge.net and such) is good for.

Yup. I'm of the non-talented-in-design (NTID... huh... sounds kind'a cool ) type too.I really like the SiteProCentral tool. Imagine if any site allowed you to customize it based on preferences, scpecified with a color chooser like this one. It would be so awesome. If only that guy had a Web Service for this. I mean, image the situation: your visitor enters a color code (or name, which is in turn translated to a code) and your application sends that request to the WS. The WS returns the color pallete, which your application then uses as constants to use with the site's colors. Already sounds exciting to me. Now if only I or anyone else could pull this off.

[Sniffy 1]

That would be cool, and I like SiteProCentral the best as well. A lot of options.

Ditto. It's the only such site I've come across before, since I don't really do a lot of things like that. But I've always liked it.

I generally use http://colorcombos.com

Thanks for the link, but I am not able to find a highest rated section, all I can see is the most recent; Is there a highest rated section or most used templates?

i recommend PageTutor.com's color picker - simple and it even generates the code for you (HTML and CSS)

[JC5 0]

I like it. I went there and now I think I have a new layout for my site!

[Mythirion 0]

I honestly like to choose my own colors. I'm fairly pleased with my combo. I have colors:584E56 - BGFFFFFF - Body38B0DE - Link Text584E56 - Link BG778899 - Link Hover000000 - Text (I think)

I have been using kuler for a long time. I highly recommend it when looking for a scheme for your project.I hope this was helpful.

Thats cool, but I like at most 3 colors, but I love adding gradients.
