Website colour theory

[fozzybear]

For a horse-racing website/blog, i'm really struggling to find shades of green and brown that actually look good together.

Can you recommend any colour schemes or can you point me to any decent websites that may help me out on this subject?

Cheers.

Thank you kind sir.

Do you think i'm on the right lines in choosing green and brown for a horse racing website?

Cheers guys. Those sites will be very useful for me.

I also had the idea (not sure if i'm being slightly too ambitious) of having a grassy background with an imprint of a hoof in it. Would this be easy to do as my design skills aren't too great.

Something like this is what i want. Where's the best place to find decent quality backgrounds/textures and whats the best way to make sure that it doesn't look badly tiled? I'm guessing i would need to edit parts of the original grassy image in PS.

Finally, is it best to have a fixed background or a scrolling one like the website here?
