    the current skin is pretty ugly... and we're going to change it... but not sure what color scheme would work well for this type of site...
    it's a site that serves as a resource on college life for current and future college students... dealing w/ aspects of college other than admissions... the url is

    www.collegesoup.net

    any help would be appreciated!

    What about

    White
    Green
    Grey

    (Listed in order of the quantity of colors that should be used. More White then green, more green then grey). I find that educational sites work pretty well with lighter colorschemes :)
