"Web Safe" Website Color
Combination Samples...
"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
