I'm in the process of moving my site to lunarpages, but first, does anyone actually like my colour scheme?

Hey,

The site looks nice. I can only recommend one thing with the color schemes and that would be to chage the yellow background to a blueish color. I think that the blue background would work better with your other colors since all of the colors of the site are already blue except the background.

Good luck mate

I Like your colour scheme and personally I like the yellow it helps to set off the blue too much of the same colour range may make the page look flat. though you might try a light grey, grey is a good "colour" to set off any colour.

Color looks good, all except the aqua, which contrasts the page way too much. Very nice design thought.

Change the aqua and welcome to lunarpages.

I don't like it, it's missing the whole F1 feel, you know a checker flag, maybe few F1 cars and some other F1 colors like red, blue and green.

If I change it so the background is light blue, the and the aqua becomes dark blue what do you think? (I haven't actually changed anything yet though)

I think that would work very nicely. When you finish changing the colors give us a link to the site so that we can give you some more feedback on it

I'd like to post some screens of a couple of colour schemes but I can't upload them from my computer, so I've decided :

main "window" and links menu is all blue with a background colour of:

1. cyan

2. British racing green (dark green)

You'd probably prefer the first option but I thought I'd ask anyway.

You mean how I did that?

Ok first I went to www.F1.com or something like that, looked for a nice picture and downloaded it.

Cut the picture into the right size, then saved it as a new file.

Opened up my Adobe PhotoShop 6.0, opened the new file, typed "F1 Motorsport" in Arial font and added couple effects like red border and little in shadow, did that and saved it.

Next I drew the round black line on the bottom, pick a color of the road and filled the white spot with it. Saved it and posted it on the web.

Took me some time to find the picture, still didn't find the right picture, the rest of thw work took me 5-10mins.

PS: Does shoemacker drive a car like that?
