yea stick with the same level of colours, like if your going to use a blue then stick with differnt dark and light blues and maybe a whitish grey, if you dont think 2 colours look good together chances are neither will others so use what you think is best

trust me, when you use the right gradients, it works. my next layout is going to be red white and blue. and its gonna look better than my current.

just make sure the colors of your color scheme match, that there is contrast between text and background (white on black or vice versa), a good thing for coming up with color schemes when you lack inspiration can be found here

also keep color theory in mind, it's very important to your overall design
