Website colors

Here you can add website colors. These are the predefined colors you find in color selectors in different portlets. For instance, add your company's profile colors so they are easy accessible for the editors. When setting up a limited number of website colors you make it easier to keep a uniform appearance of the website.

A tip for accessibility! In order to increase accessibility the contrast between background color and front color needs to be sufficient on the website. You can check your website's contrasts with a program named Colour Contrast Analyser 1.0: http://www.visionaustralia.org.au/info.aspx?page=628
