"Web Safe" colors are those that look
the same on most computer monitors including older computer monitors,
newer monitors using "accelerated browsers," laptops,
cellphones, and PDAs.
The following "web-safe" color combination
samples below are adapted from the color scemes in the book, "Color
Harmony". Remember that different colors invoke different
moods. Think about the image/mood you
want your colors to project. Another great resource for combining
"web-safe" colors is Visibone
- Webmaster's 216-Color Laboratory website.
Tip: Take pieces of construction
paper and lay them out on a neutral grey background to see how you
like different colors together. Or color splotches with crayons
on white paper. Then, you can share your color ideas with your web
designer.
This book provides a basic introduction to color theory. It
divides colors into six broad categories: warm, cool, light,
dark, vivid and dull. Each category is illustrated with a color
photograph. The photographs and color combinations in the Color
Schemes section will show you how to create a color scheme that's
striking, tranquil, exciting, natural, warm, cold, young, feminine
or surprising
