This is meant to provide a quick reference of official styles employed by a number of US religous denominations. It lists official fonts and color palletes adopted by these denominations and provides links to their more detailed guidelines. These brand guidelines are meant by denominations to be used in conjunction with their official logos and seals, however they can also provide a nice starting point when picking palletes for individual congregational websites. At the very least, you want to make sure whatever fonts and collor palletes you pick don't class with the ones used in your official denominational logo (which presumably is going to appear somewhere on your site).
To make this even more useful, each color pallete table also includes columns of complimentary colors. These palletes have been generated using the Adobe Kuler Color Wheel.
