Great post! Thanks :smile:

What I like to do is start with a picture that contains the kinds of colours I'm looking for generally. At the moment, if I were doing a Fall colour scheme, I'd start with the image I currently have on my desktop, of a brilliant red/orange maple tree with areas of various tones of green in the background, and a nearly black trunk.

Then I'd open up my colour-picking tool (I use DigitalColor Meter because it came with Mac OS X). It shows you an extreme blow-up of the area under your cursor so you can pick colours from individual pixels. It has a block of about 3/4" square where it shows you what that colour looks like in quantity.

You can take note of the hex values of ones you like, and even create a Photoshop color palette out of these.

What you're looking for are 3 or 4 colours: one for sideboxes and other small areas; one for the overall background; one for the text content area; and one for borders. They need not be very different colours; even 4 shades of one colour will work. It depends on the site design.

Once you've narrowed down your choices into a few sets of colours, create one stylesheet with one of those sets, then duplicate that stylesheet and change the appropriate colours in each duplicate. Then upload them one at a time (over-writing each time) to cycle through them on a real site to see the effect.

If you'd like help with this, just PM me and we'll work on it ASAP.
