Usage of colours in websites separate experienced designers from inexperience designers, only through experience and hours and hours of hard work will tell you how to use combination of colours in a professional websites.  We have seen many inexperience designers use all sorts of colours to design a website and make it look unprofessional.  Most professionals use two colours while designing their web pages.  One is dominant colour and other is a supporting colour to the dominant colour (e.g) blue and grey. Blue plays a dominant role and grey supports blue.
