I'm with Robert in suggesting you ask a different question, Harvinder. Choosing a color scheme is as important as choosing a font, as each conveys something about the company and its image. It's really a combination of many factors that will create the final impression, and for me the end goal is to elicit consistent confidence in buyers, users, etc.
Color contrast is important for accessibility (the precise minimum contrast required is presently being reconsidered by the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative). You can test your color choices with one of the tools found here: http://tinyurl.com/2ets5g I'm probably an oddball, but I prefer not to use white except for "highlights," and to help call attention to the smallest of headlines. A majority of web designers use white for the background (it's the default), and for people who browse the Web a lot that can cause eye fatigue. Unlike the printed page, a Web "page" requires the user to glare directly into a light source. We ought to keep that in mind, and modify our design practices to facilitate physical as well as cognitive comfort. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
