      <title>Steal This Color Scheme</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;A lot of times when I&amp;rsquo;m playing around trying to come up with web pages, I have a&amp;nbsp;hard time coming up with (and often horrible taste in) color schemes. I&amp;rsquo;m trying to learn to follow some simple guidelines of either tying similar fonts/colors/sizes to become the same, and for things that I want to contrast to &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; contrast. [A good source of these guidelines, very simply described, is &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1566091594/102-3514617-1600144?v=glance"&gt;The Non-Designer's Design Book&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In any case, if you find a site that you love, and you want to see their color scheme, &lt;a href="http://redalt.com/Tools/ilyc.php?siteuri=http://cwilliams.textdriven.com"&gt;this handy site&lt;/a&gt; will be just what the doctor ordered. It extracts the colors used by the site and in it&amp;rsquo;s stylesheets and presents them to you in their full hexadecimal glory to&amp;hellip; borrow.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
