        It depends on the website. There is a whole science devoted to what colors make people do what in what reigons of the world. Take for example McDonalds has been infamous for the orange/yellow red and/or white color scheme.

        Well that orange/yellow color is known to make people hungry. Red is highly associated with danger. Blue/Green are associated with safety although Dark Green is known to stimulate sexual prowess.

        Really interesting reading/research do some searches on the internet you will be amazed at what you will learn about how colors affect us.

              Red is actually associated with fire and passion as well. It gets that adrenalin pumping.

                          it's not only about the bgcolor, but also about the composition of all colors... any bgcolor can look good if properly composed.

                                  "it has one eye, its blind, and no consience what so ever"

                                  you ever cum on a background?

                                  ever knockup a background?

                                  ever get a background pregnant?

                                  as long as the background is in the "back" and not in your face,
                                  anything works.

                                  its what the models are doing that counts



                                  if she don't swallow who cares about the background?
                                  you remember the color of the "background" last time you got laid?
                                  Did you even give a shit at the time?

                                    Wrong.

                                    The background of a site will trigger subconscience "feelings" in a person.

                                    When is the last time you saw a bondage site with a pink background?

                                              I keep coming back to white. It looks clean and organized. BUT I do dress it up with a faded pic of some sort, like wallpaper.

                                              Pic co-ordinated colour sets here:
                                              http://www.colormatch.dk/

                                              Interesting background:
                                              http://www.colour-affects.co.uk/history.html

                                              Blue (think Microsoft, IBM, most banks) makes people feel safe, secure, and therefore more inclined to believe your site is a good purchase.

                                              Orange makes people want to whip out their money (impulsiveness)

                                              Red makes people horny.
