It´s a drawback that it doesn´t allow you to use the keyboard instead of the mouse, true - it´s just a resource for looking at colours in a complementary or analogic way, keeping in mind that we´re in need of sets of colours for web pages, wallpapers, icon sets, all sorts. > I think that these 2 base colours would be very good together : > #0066aa (a blue similar to that of Mandriva) and > #00cc00 (a light green). Something like this: http://colorschemedesigner.com/#3qd1-tZttK-MP ? Check out all the variants - you can make changes to individual colours in the variants and look at them in use on the dark page/light page tab. > The effect of these 2 colours together would be very different from > those of Mandriva.

I´d take a different shade of green (personal preference only!) - say #00ff00, and a greyer shade of blue like alexn has been using, say: http://colorschemedesigner.com/#3Hd2ovKw0Mnf58Q1Gc9GTVKaPlZpbP.GrcIgNi > As well, I hope you stay away from selecting (ugly) red/brown colours. It´s a different thing to use a red/brown/yellow as an accent (say 10% or less of the colour on the page) than to use it as a main colour - there are a couple of pinks in that last colour set, but you´d hardly use them except to highlight things, if at all. Looking for more input, please folks! Cheers, -- Patricia Fraser On the move Gnu/Linux 1997-2008 #283226 counter.li.org Dark Side - approach with caution
