Web Design - Color Scheme Advice?

[Undertoad]

I think the most important principle, in any design, is theft. Find a site or sites that do what you want to do. Figure out their basic color scheme and steal it.

The second most important thing to do is to cheat. Use this website:

http://paletton.com/

Apply the base color and you can immediately get the other colors that will work well in different schemes.

I am the web designer! I do all the code myself. But I didn't think about using my blog code hexcolors - I should give that a try actually.
