Does anyone know about which
colors make good Textcolor and Backgr.color pairs?
Is there a site or a chart or something?
I posted yesterday that i tried to build a site that randomly generates text and background colors. i could manage to code it that they are contrast colors,
but even the algorythm suggested by the w3c delivered only dissatisfying results, there are to many pairs that are not that readable enough or that simply look bad.
So now i try to write a new algorithm wich excludes those bad pairs or if that won't work i randomly pick them out of a list of pairs.

the color schemer doesn't help here...
or what do you suggest as good pairs?
the contrasts?
Far to many bad results

you're better off having a database of colors and their colour that goes well with them... then detecting if a chosen colour is near any of them and picking them.
That way you have a human element rather than a mathematical choice... works the same as whn you take the average colour of a jpeg, you'll get a shtty browny grey usually

Yeah James I think so too.
BUt i don't want to try out each color.
Aren't there any charts that list good colors? or i migt need different colorclassifications.
I thought about making allways either the backgrnd or the text color black or white and then choose randomly a not to flashy color that matches, like the newstoday red or gray...
so i will need a color range that matches black or white and looks good, so that i won't need to try out all possible colors
