Adobe’s Kuler color palette gallery is one of the better color palette galleries out there. You can browse or search more than 10,000 color palettes submitted by Kuler users and then download or save your favorites for later reference. Kuler also includes a really powerful palette creation tool that lets you select colors with sliders or based on HSV, RGB, CMYK, LAB or hex color values. Setting any color as the base color will then change the surrounding colors to complement.

There are a few different ways to vertically centre objects with CSS, but it can be difficult to choose the right one. I’ll show you all the best ways I’ve seen and also how to create a nice little centered website.

Vertical centering with CSS isn’t an easy thing to do. There are many different ways that may not work in some browsers. Let’s review 5 different ways to vertically centering objects, as well as the pros and cons of each method. (You can see my test page briefly explaining all of them.)

Eric Meyer elaborates on why we need a better layout mechanism for web content (whether it be via CSS or not). We know we shouldn't use tables for layout. Floats are a hack, positioning is flawed, and display:table-cell is no better than using a table itself. But Eric explains here why table behavior works moderately well for layout:

… this is why the old “only use tables for layout” argument keeps coming up over and over: strip away the overheated rhetoric and obvious link-baiting, and you find the core of a real need. Because as powerful as CSS can be, table cells do certain things very easily that CSS makes very, very hard. Cells stretch vertically, keeping equal heights as a matter of their intrinsic nature. They stay out of each others’ way, while still being allowed to sit next to each other and use any sizing dimensions. They tie their layout to their parent elements, and vice versa.
