How does one come up with the ideal color combination for a site? The first step is to consider the nature of the site. Colors can say a lot about your website and trigger different responses from visitors.

How do you want to present your website? The first choice is between a dark or a light theme. A dark background or a white background. If you decide to go with a black background, you will want white as your primary font color with several other supporting colors across the page. For a white background you will obviously have black font with darker supporting colors.

Here is some ideas for a theme using a white background. The 3rd swatch is the font color. The first 2 swatches are the supporting colors, interchangable with each other.
