Just interested in knowing if there are any good (and short! 🙂 ) articles which talk about the color combinations that would look good on a website.
i.e For tables (odd and even row), which one will be good in all situations
For alerts? For menus? etc
Thanks!
When it comes to colors, I don’t think there are any set colors like you ask. There are no articles that say “ALL MENUS MUST BE BLUE!”.
For alerts, either a light or golden yellow is used (so that you don’t burn your eyes out), or a dark maroon or peachy pink for more prominent alerts. Menus can be any color, but they should match your color scheme.
I think what you are implicitly asking for are color schemes. Take a look at these resources:

In addition, if you are serious about your website, I strongly STRONGLY suggest reading this book:
Steve Krugs Dont Make Me Think
The book is in an easy to read (and skim) format, and is about colors, interfaces, buttons, and designing the easy-to-use website with lots of pictures and examples. For me, it was a quick read ( < 1 hr), and it changed my life.
