    Hi,

    I have the first site that I have designed and made and then I put ads on it and some of the ads are rather dark and look like they are jotting out straight in your face because the main colors of the site are so light and the ads show out more than the main content because of this. The site is http://www.gamesdash.com

    I have then copied the site onto a test url with darker colors. Don't worry about the design as I have only done it quickly, but it will be the same design with the same ads in the same places on the site as http://www.gamesdash.com.

    So I would like you to compare the colors for http://www.gamesdash.com and the http://www.gamesdash.com/test/index.php page for the colors that are used. Don't forget about the dark ads.

    Thanks!

    I have given you both green rep for helping me with my very important decission.

    I would still like much more comments. After putting the ads on the other one, I have also roughly decided what I like, but would like more opinions on them both.

    The original one looks much better. The lighter colors bring live to the site.

    Thanks again for more help. Rep added again.

    Once I put the ads up on the second test page, I thought it would have looked better than what it currently does with the ads. The second one uses a variety of different blues whereas the first original page uses about 3 different main colors which is very good.

    I need a few more comments, but it does look as if I am going to go with the original on the http://www.gamesdash.com url.

    OK,

    I have decided to go with the first site so no more comments will be needed and if I do get comments I will be giving no more reps as I don't need the comments now.

    Thanks all for your great help and advice, I really appreciated this.
