You can change background colors and text colors on MyWebSite. 

What colors should I use?

Why has my text disappeared?

Your text is probably the same color as your background: for instance, black text on a black background or white text on a white background will be invisible to the viewer. 

How can I change font colors?

In the My Web Site tab, click on Select Albums and scroll to the bottom:

Choose a font color that has high contrast with your background colors so that your text is easily readable, and then click on Save & View.

Changing Background Colors

Prior to 2014, dotPhoto used a color-setting tool in the MyWebSite feature that enabled changing the background colors for the header and the body of the web site. That tool is no longer supported, so we now use a simple hexadecimal color identifier on the bottom of the first page of the MyWebSite feature. Enter the 6-character hexidecimal color in the boxes on the right, and click the CONTINUE button to save your choice.

Hexidecimal codes are a good way to precisely identify colors for computer screens. They run from #000000 (Black) to #FFFFFF (White). For thousands of precise colors, refer to a site like color-hex.com  For convenience, here are many popular colors and their hexidecimal codes. You can copy and paste a code below to dotPhoto's MyWebSite feature to change colors.
