    Hi

    I'm just creating a form and visually differentiate between different types of fields. I figured I'd give them different background colors but I'm dreadful at color schemes so was hoping for suggestions.

    this is what I have so far

    .searchI{
	background-color: #ccffff;
}
.searchM{
	background-color: #FFD2D2;
}
.searchC{
	background-color: #EFDBC3;
}
.searchF{
	background-color: #C3E4C6;
}
    Code (markup):
    Can anyone improve on that?

    thanks in advance...

    those tools are neat but I really don't know how to use them. I don't know which one to select for the background and which one to select for the text , header etc.....just dont have the eye for that....my mama even still dresses me

    Yeah well, some of us are coders and some are designers and I guess some can't do that so they have to do marketing

    this is what I ended up with
    .searchI{background-color: #FFE6CC;}
.searchM{background-color: #FFFFCC;}
.searchC{background-color: #FF8F8F;}
.searchF{ background-color: #CCE6FF;}
    Code (markup):
    still looks a bit naff but atleast they're all the same opacity etc.
