What color do you think is the most appropriate for a comprehensive and IT Website?
My site, including Wallpaper, Games, News and other aspects .
My site using light blue as a background, what is your views and suggestions?
The other pages of the site, I used black and gray as the main color, do you like it?
I hope you can give me some advice, thank you!

    Good Question, maybe this advice would help you out:

    Think About Using The Right Colors.
    The colors that you choose for your website must first appeal to your niche market. Both who your audience is, and what benefits your product offers, should play an important role in your color selection.

    You Should Consider Your Audience
    Is your customer a part of a select group of people, or are you trying to reach a broad audience? Do you want to inspire professionalism and seriousness, or are your prospects looking for fun and affordability?

    - The color white has been associated with simplicity, security and creativity, making it a highly suitable color for sites that target large, unspecific audiences.
    - Blue, the most calming color of all, projects success, focus and professionalism. Use this color if you are promoting a service, or if appealing to business owners and other professionals.
    - Orange is commonly associated with ambition, happiness and inexpensiveness. It’s perfect to attract impulsive shoppers who are looking for a bargain.
    - Cool colors represent masculinity.
    - Warm colors indicate femininity.

    Consider Your Product
    - If you are selling an entertainment product, select a color scheme that projects fun, comfort, energy, and harmony.
    - A product targeted at professionals should use colors inspire practicality, seriousness, focus and success.
    - If you’re promoting an item of luxury, use colors that imply sophistication, authority and strength.
    - Are there studies on the product’s effectiveness? Make reference to positive results.

    i have opened the wallpaper site (Thousands Windows 7 wallpapers free)..
    my advice:
    - your site is just too wide, full on monitor's width.. i like the site's width to be decreased.
    - the colour is ok..

      I think the colors are pleasing to the eye on all the sites, and as others have said sharp bright colors are a turnoff for me.
      Mellow earth tones have always been a popular one in my book. Make the text easy to read and products for sale easy to intake.
