As you can see the color for the feature box (the big red one) just isn't working. Do you know of any good CSS colors I can use?
I'm pretty sure he means on his web page (link in his sig). Try something like #6da8c3. I just threw open photoshop to browse colors quickly, and that might do okay, it would still be eye-catching for the adds, but wouldn't be so bright and painful to look at lol.
To bright. Why not just go with the same color as the left side bar? #ccc or something. You could always just make the titles red or bold. Hope your not going to put ads on that site, my eyes are blinded by the bright red.
LOL, my own eyes are blinded by the red. I'm just learning to design and I'm partially color blind so it's hard to know the right colors to use.
