Colour Theory (Part 2)
The colour wheel below consists of 20 basic web
safe colours, and is a helpful tool that shows the basic organization
and
relationships between colours. By choosing the colour opposite a particular
colour you can match colours more effectively; or by choosing colours at 90
degree angles you can match four colours more effectively.
To reproduce these basic web safe colours for a
page background or text combination the hexadecimal numbers which the web
browser uses are shown below, if you wish to reproduce these colours in a
graphics program, the RGB (red, green and blue) values are also shown below.
