    How do you think the colors go with the website? What about the drop-down ADVANCED OPTIONS menu ... look okay?

    Mainly its tough being a color-blind web developer, but I try my best.

    Thanks! I've found sometimes my colorblindess helps, other times it makes my websites look a little weird.

    If I had to use this kind of proxy site at work I would try to avoid sites with 'underground-like' choice of colors. In most cases, people so not visit these sites at work. I would recommend to use light background with normal black fonts.

    Your site looks great...*i think*...I have issues with color as well. I use colorschemer.com/online quite a bit but I'd be curious to know what techniques you use to minimize "color clash".

    You are using many different types. Blue links on gray background are not seen well. I think that you could also make the “Top Visited Sites at Work” make more visible. Separate it making a block applying a different color.

    To what extent are you color blind? I mean you have difficulty with certain colors or all colors?

    I agree with Kassi...it is difficult to read the links in the lower part of the page.

    I think the colors are appropriate about the site's theme
