Good luck with your project, the only thing I can tell you is that there is such a thing called a Web safe Pallette which uses I believe 217 colors. If you use a Web safe pallette you willl not be able to use a lot of different colors but it will be viewable in all browsers.

I would say if it is automotive niche, then Plan white, with sky blue or maybe whitish blue color suits the site.

I thought I'll add my 2 cents in as well.
You should look at colours that are generally associated with your field. For example people normally associate the colour red with words like important, danger, stop. Whereas the colour green is usually associated with the environment, go, safety etc. As an extreme example today homosexual community, they have adopted the rainbow colours.
Society around us have certain established norms, practises etc. It is very hard to go against these established norms. Some times going against them can make people uncomfortable. It confuses them. You'll have to be a very good designer to be able to ignore these.
The colours I personally would associate with motor vehicles are:

The colours I personally would associate with motor vehicles are:
- Orange; RAC, combs used to block roads.
- Yellow; AA, florescent jackets.
- Red; Road signs, although only a little.
- Silver; Metallic body parts.
Can you hear the silence? What shall be will come to pass.

I think you should go with your gut feel when it comes to presenting your product. Ensure that color scheme brings out all product pictures nicely and also the navigation should be user friendly.... rest start taking feedback from your customers.. after all they are the one who will be watching those color schemes....

I have been working a lot lately with colors and websites and I have noticed certain colors turn people off. Don't use a black background with white text it strains the eyes, if someone uses orange for a background (which I strongly do not suggest) try to make the links readable remember about color blind people and that they need to see your site also try vischeck it is a good program.
If I helped you I would appreciate it if you would give me some reputation.
