<PRE>Hi,
><i> I have some ideas, but the resource given doesn't let me select only
</I>><i> my 2 colours, and trying 3 (ignoring the middle colour) didn't work
</I>><i> very well with my mouse and level of manual dexterity.
</I>><i> (The "clickable link" didn't work for me either, but maybe I tried
</I>><i> the wrong link.)
</I>
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> I think that these 2 base colours would be very good together :
</I>><i> #0066aa (a blue similar to that of Mandriva) and
</I>><i> #00cc00 (a light green).
</I>
Something like this: <A HREF="http://colorschemedesigner.com/#3qd1-tZttK-MP">http://colorschemedesigner.com/#3qd1-tZttK-MP</A> ?
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.
><i> The effect of these 2 colours together would be very different from
</I>><i> those of Mandriva. The green is a refreshing colour that would be
</I>><i> good as the main colour, as an accent, or shared on par with the blue.
</I>><i> If one of the colours is to be an accent, I would rather it were the
</I>><i> blue. If only one of the colours is selected, I would prefer the
</I>><i> light green.
</I>
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:
<A HREF="http://colorschemedesigner.com/#3Hd2ovKw0Mnf58Q1Gc9GTVKaPlZpbP.GrcIgNi">http://colorschemedesigner.com/#3Hd2ovKw0Mnf58Q1Gc9GTVKaPlZpbP.GrcIgNi</A>
><i> As well, I hope you stay away from selecting (ugly) red/brown colours.
</I>
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,
