Hi guys

I found a book yesterday about color harmony on the web, but itīs too expensive for me right now. Do someone know a good web site where I can research about colors and web design ideas and styles?

Thanks

I would recommend also becoming acquainted with color theory as it applies to print......good stuff also and slightly diff from web work.

well color theory goes beyond what looks good to the eyes.....it is how to calculate colors and moods, halftones......a bunch of stuff. I used to think that also kei......But man when you pick up one of those books you realize how much you do not know. Especially now since I do alot of print work...the color and print theory books have been a savior, Mastering Digital Print and Color Harmony 2 are two books I would recommend for starters.
