    There is none.

    It depends on the graphics you want to use, the niche your site should belong, the layout of the texts, your company logo/website logo, ...

    #FFFFFF background
    And your main color something close to #006AD7
    and a random accent color like a cool gray.

    Seems to be nice and neat.

    And the absence of all color is black. So the perfect color is black! But, then, white is the presence of all colors so....it's white! Cause you've covered all the bases.

    Some hot tips:

    About Images:
    1. Always use jpeg format cuz jpeg format have best quality and load quickly
    2. The logo should describe your company and work ethic
    3. The color of the logo should be not be dark.

    About Text
    It is better to use light color in background and text color should be dark matching the background color.

    Cheers

    Best quality? No way, Jose, it's actually a lossy format compared to PNG and it doesn't support transparency. You're right about loading times, though.

    Regarding color schemes - I agree that it really depends. As mentioned above, colorschemedesigner is a nice tool to choose one. I like clean bw/gray schemes as well as black/gold for dark and skyblue/light green/orange for light themes.

    use colorschemedesigner, this is the tool used by many designers to find out best color scheme. after using the tool then you would come to know about color combination.

    Black on black works really good, too.

    Green , black and light gray are the best selection when it comes to keeping the eyes happy , but they are also hard to make to look awesome .
