283 PointsI need help balancing the colors of 3 column, 5 Row table
On Scmjf.org, I created a 3 column, 5 row table; in each column i described three aspects of one organization:
- Title of organization
- Representative from organization
- A brief description of organization
This 3 column 5 row table is sitting on top of a background color.
I need to balance the colors that i use for the BACKGROUND color with the colors that i use for items 1, 2, and 3. I cannot find a balance of colors.
For instance, image in i make items 1 and 2 white, and item 3 black. Then i make the background color dark green.
The overall effect is impressive, but the black writing doesnt really stand out.
Can you recommend any combination of colors that make this table attractive AND readable?
Im currently working with the strategy of making items 1 and 2 be one color, item 3 be a 2nd color and the background being a third color. You might suggest something different, such as items 1, 2 and 3 being one color and the background image being a second color.
Please use scmjf.org to see what im talking about. I tried a couple different color combinations so you will get a feeling for what im talking about.
Any suggestion appreciated,
Elliot Stiller
