Web Page Colour
Good contrast is important between the text colour, foreground, and the page colour, background. It is particularly important to visitors with a visual impairment.
Colours can also have a psychological impact. Red, orange, and yellow are considered warm colours. They can convey emotions from warmth to anger. Blue, green, and purple are considered cool. They can convey calmness but also sadness.
