One easy way to design a colour scheme is to use black and white, plus a single "key colour" to highlight important information such as headings, or emphasised text, or to include graphical elements like rules or background shading. This is quite easy to do well. You simply need to choose one colour that is reasonably appropriate for the subject, and make sure not to overuse the highlighting to the point where it's diluted.
