Here's video tutorial showing you everything you need to know about creating matching color schemes in 1:44 that will look good everytime.

This video uses the same resource as the "ColorPicker" link atop each forum page:
http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html

Note: In the video I suggest using the lightest color for the page background and the darkest color for the text...

In reality, I still suggest using white background with black text the vast majority of the time...I was just giving an example in the video.

However, you can use the colors for things like your scrollbar, h1 text, links, etc.
