Ok, Tess. Let me just say...did you play around with the colors for the color schemer before you posted the link? Because, I just fixed my site up to use an orange based color for my text. I found a few sites that commented that orange is a tried and true compliment to blue. I guess I am on the right track.

I didn't actually That's their default setting when you hit the page each time.

One more quick note: when I have a website to design and I want to get creative with color - oftentimes I'll go look online for images of colored paper or fabrics that I like and then take the colors out of that. There are some neat color combinations that don't really come to mind right away or that a color wheel won't recommend because they're not necessarily in the same family.

Try looking at your favorite peices of art or clothing and notice the color combinations there...you may come up with something new and spectacular that way as well.

Hello!

Well, I took everyone's ideas into consideration and came up with a website I am finally happy with (for now that is).

Thank you, thank you for your input. Oh, by the way, I look at the yellow page now and my eyes literally hurt. Ouch.

Thank you both! I got the seedling photo from istockphoto. Thank you Tess for making mention of that website in the Coding and Design section of this forum.

I was soo happy when I found it too. I love to use colors from photos and incorporate them into my designs. I think the photo was the missing link.

Thank you again.
