I have a question. The way I design my site is I open new document in photoshop and design the whole page not paying attention to size.

Yes, that way if you have to go with a background image for just a color, you can use a much smaller image than need to fill the space and it will tile. Smaller image = Less download time. |

Don't make it too small, the tiling operation can take longer than DLing the picture... If you only have a 1 pixel image for instance, on large monitors it could have to tile it over 1,000,000 times! Make a 50x50 image and save it as a GIF. Since GIF is indexed color it will be plenty small. |

Bugimus is correct that matching background colors with image colors can be difficult. As long as you are sticking to the 216 websafe colors in your images, however, your problems should be minimal. |
