HERE ARE SOME SAMPLE COLORS FOR FONT. We can make the font bigger, or a different font, so if you like a color we can play around to make it easier to read. Remember that you don't want a viewer to be frustrated trying to read it.

This is in the peach range, looks orange here.
So is this one and
So is this one.

This one is slightly pinkish,
This one is light yellow.
This is ivory.

These are in the blue and green spectrum
Like this one too,
And this. . .I think I threw a lavender in here somewhere - while I'm typing code I can't see them...
and there is this one and
this one too.

You know, looking at these, the blues and greens seem to bring out a warmth in the wood - some yellow tones. Do you see that? Those might work fine, if you like them better.

I wanted to let you know that I can add a sort of frame around your pictures, so they will not just be plain against the background. I can do that in any color, OR I have on my computer a few options for textures frames that we could play with.

You can look at all the colors here: http://www.immigration-usa.com/html_colors.html . There will look slightly different on each browser - for example it will always be peach, but may be more brown on yours, or more orangy on mine. But the variations are slight.

We are actually looking for a few different colors. We need one for the main text. Then one for the links (you know, they are usually blue, but you can manipulate that to change it; I am thinking blue won't show well on the fence wood). And finally one for a 'visited link': that is when a link changes color to show you have already clicked it once. Remember that for these purposes, we can consider white an optional color.

So we need a primary text color, and two for links. The ones we use for links need to contrast sharply with the text, but to a lesser degree with one another. Does that make sense?
