That's a good site! Thanks for the link! :o) Well, it won't really help me with the sports club site - it's so simple that I can't influence the colors except from when chosing between shades offered in pre-composed styles; lots of styles and shades to chose from though, so I can't complain. That way personal imagination sure is limited, but in this case it doesn't matter as the main purpose is to inform and update easily.

There were lots of styles and images composed for sport sites, but I couldn't really identify the spirit of our club with them, so I picked one with blue and greyblue shades and an image of a wave as our club is in a small town right by the sea, which has the word for "harbour" in it and also is the name of the club. People say they like it the way it is, but ofcourse I alone don't decide. We're democratic. They know they can come to me with suggestions if they want changes - like you do now with the background color of this site.

Favorite? No, not really. First I thought I wouldn't like any green shade, but now that we're testing this one we have now, I think it's ok 'cause it's not hard on your eyes; they don't hurt when reading. And it has a little grey in it, so I don't get seasick. When checking out the site you showed me, I noticed bright yellow shades are hard on your eyes like I assumed; make you frown which causes a slight headache right above your eyes. Other people might react differently, so the vote will tell what's gonna be here. "Your" color site helped me understand what certain colors really look like, so now I can go ahead voting :o)
