And the gradient puts it over the top. In the end, it’s YOUR page and although I always encourage our clients to listen to customer insights.

Brown Gradient: c39a6a to 7a552b Darker Green: 99ba22 (I would have the designer silo the Limo Logo against the green, not use it in "darken mode" which it is now on yer site..... it needs to pop!) I like this much better: http://swet.4t.com/Picture4.png Mix it up!

I recommend you to stay with solid colors. No gradients The brown option is using a green stroke.. I would use white instead, so you can match the style you are using on your images. My only comment about the green you are using now, is that makes the white text is not 100% legible or convenient. Did you try using the darker green from your color palette? Here are some websites about color palettes : www.kuler.adobe.com www.colourlovers.com - Tania Sierra Mr. Raser,

I usually always go with my gut, and this is one time that I didn't. Nonetheless, I think you are right about the contrast and gradient. Thank you for that, Tony.
