One of the most important parts of the initial design process is the choice of colour scheme. If your client or topic of interest already has a set of preferred colours, your choice is easy. However, there are many occasions where the choice is entirely up to you. For many people, deciding on the colours can be a difficult task. Armed with a little colour theory, some great online tools, and your own design sense, you can create attractive and unique colour schemes for your website designs. This article will show you how.

Nice article! Good

Extremely informative and covers a great deal (perhaps just about everything) you need to know about colours on the 'net.

I had a client recently that wanted gold on his site Doh!

Well, if you want a random color scheme, you could try "The Ultimate Original JavaScript ColorShow" a little experiment I did a few years back- with contols and copy&paste body tag!

Just hit the "Stop the Madness" button when you're feeling lucky!
