hey guys, do you know of any tutorials about choosing colors for a page? I want something on finding colors that go well together, how to make a color scheme by picking colors with different hue, etc. ---

OH! I found a good one… check this link out: [http://www.color-wheel-pro.com/color-theory-basics.html](http://www.color-wheel-pro.com/color-theory-basics.html) they’re selling a program, but they have good explanations of color schemes for web design… ---

Ooh…cool link. I never understood color theory or its importance - guess it would be a time for me to learn about it. It just seems like trying to explain why objects fall to the ground - useful to know but not knowing it will not affect you in any way. Cheers! Kirupa :goatee: ---

well… the problem was that I was picking colors that I thought look good, but when I put them together they just didn’t go… (if you want to see what I’m talking about, go to [http://www.lavaland.net/](http://www.lavaland.net/) and check out the menu). But now I know a little better how to pick the colors due to that tutorial… so I’m going to change it ---

Nice site Lava - good find 🙂 I find this stuff fun and interesting. We had a class in college that dealt with JUST THIS and it was pretty cool. We got really deep into the meanings of colours and such… very cool stuff. ---
