That is an excellent post about selecting color for a website... Thanks for sharing the information. I have been using the same set of colors for all my websites, I am planning to change this habit.

I still consider inappropriate sites on color theory, the majority does not consider the inclusion of color in culture. Red is one thing for Americans, one for Asians. Green has a meaning in Europe and one in Brazil .....

Thats really useful thanks.

I always find the longest part of my design work is picking colours and fonts. I can spend literally hours and still not be happy. Does anyone have any favourite colour schemes?
