Website color theory

The Kuler site I posted before got me thinking about color theory for websites. I really liked the fact that it allowed you to try color combinations on your own, but I was also curious about how to use color and what things really worked. The site Kestrel Designs seemed to have some really good explanations of how to use color. I thought the page on how color conveys mood and the page on color combinations other sites have used were particular interesting.

This Web 2.0 how-to design tutorial also has some good tips.

Can't wait to try out that site. Are you going to end up going with oranges like here?

Thanks for the link to the color site. I checked out the theories on color and mood. I pretty much agree with most of the asessments. I never really thought about those ideas being applied to websites though.
