Color Schemes
Pick one that repeats throughout
your page. Stick with it on that page or through all the pages.
Pick two or three colors from your graphic or whatever else is on
your page.
When chosing the color scheme have
a woman advise you on your choices. Almost every woman has
better taste in colors than almost any man and very, very few
have any form or degree of color blindness. Many men have some
degree of it without knowing it.
When determining legibility
against a colored BACKGROUND have a color blind man advise you.
He will be lacking the color hints that a normally color sighted
person will have.
How do I know? People have a
tendency to break out laughing when I identify colors. I can see
them all. I just see them differently.
