Are you using the right color for your website or blog?
Did you know that too much of one color will causes your visitor
to leave your site? The most used colors for websites/blogs and
the message they convey are ;

Blue... Represents Trust, loyalty and honesty.
"Cerulean Blue" is Americas favorite color.
But be carefull when using this color because
too much of it is associated with depression.
It is best used with an accent color.

Green...The most restful on the eye.
Represents life, growth, energy, faith,
health and of course MONEY

Red...The strongest color.
Associated with danger, passion, power, energy
and excitement. Should only be used as an accent color.
NEVER as a background color.

Yellow...Brightest color.
Associated with sunshine,happiness, hunger
(yes, yellow makes you want to eat)
Used to highlight text that you think is important
to the reader.
Like red it should only be used as an accent color.

Black...Represents Strength, focus, power, class
and determination. First choice for text color.
Never use black as a background color, especially on
a sales page with white text.

Purple...Represents leadership, respect,
wealth (even more so when used with Gold)
It symbolizes creativity and ideas.

Hope this helps
