Keys to Color

       Color is never viewed in isolation, but is always judged in its environment.




       Use bright vibrant colors on title/navigation pages and clear, high
       contest, consistent color for content pages.




       The best rule to follow when selecting color is keep it simple. With color
       choice, more is not generally better.
