Hello :)

Currently, I am working on a site design for someone, he wants to have this blue (#082E9B / http://img93.exs.cx/img93/7751/colour0rq.gif (Example) ) to be used on it, but I really have no idea if I should use it as the background color, or just use it on different elements of the site. And, if I choose to not to use it as the background, what kinda background color I should pick?

Thanks already, .PwN3D :confused:

Hmmm - seems like a very bright colour to be used all over the site. Suttle pastel colours are alot easier on the eyes with regards to Backgrounds. There are some really nice shades of blue about (like the ones on my site www.rtcproductions.com) but always maske sure ur BG color is suttle and dosent take the attention away from your site.

imo its too deep a color to be used as the background, i would suggest just using it as a backup color, and since the blue is so dark (to be used on a template) i would suggest either a lighter blue, or maybe a soft white.

Good Luck m8 :)
