Go outside and look up :)
Some of the best advise on colors I've been given, is to look at nature and see what goes with what. That's a sky blue, try a yellow, orange, white...

Personally I'd go for a slightly 'greyer' blue for a more corporate feel...

Maybe that was too big of a step. Look out the window?

Going out side is like a WHT sin, is it not ?

Not really a sin. A sin is usually appealing and tempting. More of an idea that no one has considered :)

Yellows, oranges, white, black, other shades of blue. I highly suggest a program called ColorSchemer.. as the name would imply, it finds colors that work well with a specified color. Generally speaking, polar opposites on the color wheel are supposed to work well together.

Push F5 when you get to the website above to see the acutal picture

I'd also take a look at sites like www.coolhomepages.com to get a good idea of what truly looks good together and how to make a color scheme work.

Let me find my sunglasses first, :cool: that shade is killing my eyes. Maybe a little less contrast. Just my opinion though.

IMHO almost any blue (for a corporate site) fits good with white, gray & black.
Orange, yellow & blue make it look more like a childrens site. (targeted toward children)
