    So my friend started his car forums,and made his own banner with this just awful dark redish color. Now i'm know design expert, or guru or anything but i told him i'd take care of using that banner, and matching a skin to it, now i punch myself in the face every day.


    If anyone can offer some advice or colors that'd match that'd be great

    You can see the some what color i found to kind of go with it so far at http://forums.anarchycars.com.

    Or just check the banner here and let me know some hex codes,

    There's a number of services that are very helpful in this regard.

    My personal favourite is:

    http://kuler.adobe.com/# (Needs flash 9 to work)

    It's a little more complicated than your basic colour matcher. Simply click on create - input your starting hex in the right box and then play with the options.

    If worse comes to worse - there's a stack of pre-saved themes created by other users that could come in useful.

    If you use Firefox, there's an add-on called ColorZilla After you install it, it should be at the bottom left hand corner of the browser. You can click on the eyedropper and select the color on the screen and it'll tell you the HEX value. Very useful if you're browsing a site and want to know what color certain thing is.
