    Hey everyone,
    I've recently just been playing around with the colors/design on this site, and at the moment the homepage looks like: http://www.creditcardfinder.com.au

    if anyone could share some feedback or recommendations that would be great. I know the Red 'Click the Headings to Compare' box is very out of place, I just don't know what color I should switch it too.
    Also, changing the red banner inbetween the header and the content isn't an option.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    try to use colorschemer.com/online.html . It helps me to choose different type of colors. Just click the color & choose the "set hex" HTML color code.

    Mike, you have already done a great job on picking a simple color scheme and the site looks really good. The only thing that you might want to do is add another complimentary color to the site, possibly try to work red into the overall theme, that way the ad at the top wouldn't look so out of place.

    Yeah I agree with mshore, if you can work red into the design of the website it will look really nice... and the ad on top does look out of place, but since you cant change it you can try adding red into the color scheme.
