College Websites Using Blue and Gold - some bad and some good.  Really like the use of the darker blue with minimal gold (high bright yellow - not the darker mustard) and some lime green accents with a bit of brick

http://www.wvu.edu (not bad)

http://berkeley.edu/students (gold looks bad)

*** http://www.coker.edu (blue with white lettering and just a little gold and some light green)

Nice redesign of color:  http://www.pdx.edu  ( I like the clean white small use of brick in a tab)  Look at 2007 preview:  http://www.edustyle.net/site.php?site=391


Green and Gold
http://www.msu.edu/  nice gold and the grey has a hint of green to it.

PICTURE TRANSITION IS INTERESTING!
