OK, here's an article analysing colours from a psychology-cum-
retailing point of view, with a small amount of commentary on Web
usage:

And here's a sensible discussion primarily related to background
but with some comments on legibility issues:
http://info.med.yale.edu/caim/manual/graphics/backgrounds.html
Just took a quick trip through builder.com and useit.com who tend
to have helpful links (we point a lot of clients their way to specific
articles if we need to give them background info on why, for
example, we tell them they should not be using frames or why they
should be non-specific in browser requirements).
Thanks, non-gender-specific guys, for the general discussion on
broad browser standards. It's made me get my A into G and sort
out one of our sites which had inherited a lot of junk as a result of
being produced 48 hours ahead of a New York Times interview!.
We've just put together some style sheets for it, reduced the page
size by around 10% and cleaned up our act.
My, don't I feel virtuous :-)
Cheers,
Vicki Hyde
