Forbidden Color Combinations?

Recommended Posts

I’ve read around that color theorists and designers in fashion or computer graphics have coined phrases based around what colors shouldn’t go together. A couple of them are:”Red and Green Should Not Be Seen” and “Blue and Green Should Never Be Seen without Something in Between”. I am a newbie so I’m not sure if this applies in all cases any opinions on this?

I hate bright yellow and bright red. Absolutely disgusting. There are a few sites out there that have color schemes ready to use. I'd also recommend searching Google for web design inspiration. You'll get some great schemes by looking at the works of more accomplished designers.

I found this book to be really good.  It's called the Zen of CSS.  It doesn't teach you css, rather it explores good design with css.  It goes over color's in most of the design samples.
