Color Coordinating

[Of The Blood]

Not really sure If this is the correct place to but this but I wanted to discuss color coordinating for boards. Or is it just be having a bit of trouble with the colors lol...

Usually im pretty good at color schemes but Sometimes i wonder if my colors really go together. I was wondering how other members coordinate their colors on their boards and if they follow any general template. As in say, Black, White, and Gray.. Those colors go together great. I guess i just wanted to discuss how other members go about putting colors together.

best way I can word it lol hopefully you know what I mean.

Black goes well with any colors.
White also goes well with any colors.
Dark gray goes well with any color.
Light gray goes well with most colors except extremely bright colors.

I made a color calculator part of a framework of mine. My main site (Charles Stover) generates a random color, then calculates the split complimentary colors of the original color. The template is then generated based on those three colors.
It can be a pain, but it works. Now I'm tempted to make a "random color" template for ProBoards. =/

Alas, split complimentary. Otherwise, I just choose my favorite combination: blue and white.
