Important notes on Web Colors:
Colors and fun and add spice to a page. But not all colors are created equal on the computer monitor.
Color combinations: There are some color combinations that will produce illegible text, a user headache or both. Use your favorite colors but make sure that the text is legible and doesn't cause eye strain when you are sitting 18 - 24 inches from the monitor.
Link colors: If you don't specify your link colors, the page will use the default colors (which very well may not match your site at all). If you are working on a page full of links it is a good idea to have a slightly different visited link color (that goes with the color scheme) so that the user can tell which of the many links she/he has already visited.
