This is a site on colour theory, Its short version of the theory developed by Yohannes Itten and gives more depth than the link you currently have for the article on colour theory.

Useful links to check sites/pages as colour blind people see them...

http://www.vischeck.com/
http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2008/07/2...he-color-blind/

On average around 10% of your sites visitors could have some sort of CB, and that's a large enough amount not to ignore

[lisa.royal]

Yes you are right sometime color with multiple tool are not supported . so, out website layout is dishonored.
Same problem with me in my web hosting url.

[Electric Studio]

Give www.websitecolorscheme.coma go

[Lucasferrera]

Thanks for the info and links for web colors...

[MarcusF]

I had a look at the Adobe Kuler site. Is it just a site that shows what colours match etc, or am I missing the bigger picture. I appreciate its a bit of a daft question.

[Boxmodel Design]

Hey Thanks, I'll take a look. Our present site design is quite dark www.boxmodeldesign.co.uk so we are re-designing it.

[klout]

We use this now and again....

http://www.easyrgb.c...ndex.php?X=HARM

Great for colour harmonies.

[STWebDesign]

Good selection of links! Thanks for taking the time to make the post! I always used Adobe Kuler but its good to have other websites to use as well!

[myWorldinFocus]

Also, for those of you who own an iPhone or thinking of getting one, there are a few colour picker apps that are quite useful!

Some are free, or have free alternatives that you can try before buying the full version.

[Designers' Shack]

Thank a lot for the links.

Is it fair a site that depicts what colours match etc, or am I lacking the bigger picture. I appreciate its a minute of a daft question.I had a expect at the Adobe Kuler site.

[Andrei Raileanu]

Adobe Kuler is the best for sure... And now it's very easy to use as it is integrated with the Adobe CS5 Collection.

On average around 10% of your sites visitors could have some sort of CB, and that's a large enough amount not to ignore

Could u please throw some more light on which colors I should avoid so that color blind visitors find the site impressive.

I can highly recommend Instant Eyedropper. It can detect any colour on a page, and give you it's equivalent in a variety of different formats.
