I’m colorblind as a colorblind bat, and for some reason, I really really suck at typography. So I’m humbly asking for some suggestions as to colors for this site, and some typography suggestions. Any help much appreciated in advance. ---

But I’m colorblind… ☹ I’m looking for a dull yellow/strong black palette. Can you spoonfeed me a few samples (from any palette generator) like the baby I am? Hm… I wonder if there’s a typography palette generator out there? 😮 ---

Are you really asking for someone to do your work and make things look good for you without any compensation whatsoever? Weak. ---

I really am pretty colorblind so I need help picking colors. So far as typography, I could do that, have studied many tutorials and have tried, I’m just no good at matching fonts together so I’m whining on here hoping someone has a link to a site with a bunch of typography palettes(?). Besides, whats the use of help forums if you don’t use them to ask help with? ---

[quote=fasterthanlight™;2332372]good typography == practice bypassing the practice == bad typography[/quote] Understood. …but if you were gonna put that on a website, would you use Verdana or Georgia? 🙂 ---

[quote=redelite;2332381]Serif Headlines Sans-serif Sub Headlines/Body Copy … play with that for a little bit :thumb2:[/quote] Will do, thanks. Edit: It worked. Bell MT is a great Headliner, and Arial sans-serif actually looked good with it. My buttons are still ugly, but oh well.
