Please! Help me with your opinion concerning what colors to choose for my website where you can learn foreign languages. what colors would be the best? thanx

probably a lot of different colours would be best...

Perhaps colors reminiscent of the languages' home countries' flags?

Don't use bright reds for backgrounds. They tend to make your eyes hurt after a few minutes, if the site is going to be the place to learn the language use more subtle colors or use a soft version of colors. There isn't any real guide to what colors to use for language sites. I can suggest a few sites for palette ideas for your colors. The first being the one that uses the most colors.

thank you very much! i was considering about making palette with red colours. but you are totally right about that they make your eyes hurt. i am still not sure about palette, but i liked the most the colours of Rosetta Stone website, but it might be because the site is very nice itself
