Color is an important part of a good web page. It can grab the attention of your audience if you use color well and it can be distracting and even annoying if you make poor color choices. Use these sites to find the right color combinations for your web pages. I found ColorCenter to be especially helpful.

• ColorCenter This is the best site I've seen as far as color testing goes. You can select colors from the color palette or you can enter them in hexadecimal, percentages, etc. This page also has links to sites with backgrounds and colors so you can test your color choices with any background you can find; in fact, when you return the next time, ColorCenter will remember the backgrounds you selected in previous sessions. A comprehensive site that is worth visiting.
• Netscape's Guide to Background Attributes
• Thalia's Guide to Color A site with many links that provide utilities and tools for developing color on your site.
• The Digital Media Solutions Guide to Color University of Michigan site explaining Color... graphics and examples of how to get the best results on the web.
• Netscape's Background Sampler If you like the backgrounds you find here, use ColorCenter's link to this page to test the backgrounds with various color schemes.
