Knowing the fundamentals of color can go a long way toward making better color choices Color can influence the way the user s eye is drawn to certain areas of content. It can also be used to create separation from different areas of content, make text more readable, and provide emphasis for important content. When it comes to text, readability should always come first. Dark text on light background is best, with plenty of contrast. Try some tinted backgrounds, an off-white background can often make for a softer appearance, helping to make your pages more soothing and your text more readable.
Some pastel colors work well also, or even try a pale gray.
These colors are aqua, black, blue, silver, gray, white, maroon, red, purple, fuchsia, teal, green, lime, olive, yellow, and navy. Older browsers that don't support a particular color name might display a default color instead, or no color at all.
