A long time since I last saw a post on this blog that was really well connected with it's name, so I thought a post about colours on the web would be appropriate. There are a lot of pages about colours out there, and most of them have web safe colours as their primary topic. But how do you arrive at what colours you should use in a design, what looks best together with another colour, what gives the best contrast while still being harmonious? One site on the web dedicated to colour theory is Colours on the Web by Donald Johansson, one of the real treasures on this topic. It's not the only site dedicated to this, Color Overview by Worqx and Color Contrast & Dimention in News Design by Pegie Stark Adam also provide a good insight into colour theory.
Some other sites that might be useful in chosing the components of your colour scheme, are Web Colours Theory and Principles of Graphics Design by Mundi Design Studios.
