So it wasn't the combination of colors that everyone had a problem with, it was the hue and brightness? OIC! Well I shall have to remedy that. Thing is, I'm not sure where to start. Maybe in an aqua-green color.
I know that once I choose my primary color I want to use analagous colors with it - maybe a duotone style like ubbdev has here. I'm just not a big fan of green on the web. I have some decisions to make.
