I think the color is fine its the lack of contrast, generally you want one or two complementing colors and then another color that contrasts it well that is easy to look at (and in my opinion light colored, it takes more work to make a page with a black background that is easy to look at). That colorblender site looks like it could come in handy, I seem to remember some downloadable program that existed for selecting color themes that automatically suggested colors to contrast the ones you choose, never tried it out
The colors themselves are ok, but it might be better to use the brightest colors only for some details that need attention - like headers or icons - instead of big areas left and right of the main area. As it is, if one tries to read the text the bright areas distract a lot. You could also try to reduce the saturation of the colors.
(p.s. what do you use to crank out so many sites so fast? i'm on quite a lot of coffee but cant keep up with that speed

Yep, looks very cool. I would like to see a site that was designed according to the colors which were suggested by this tool though so I can really tell how the final result is (of course it depends on the designer as well but still).The Ninja Space Goat wrote:I really like that color blender site.
