Your question covers two distinct areas of design: color theory and typography. Color theory covers why blue text on a red background may not be a good idea. Typography covers the style, usage and spacing of fonts or the letters on the page.

In addition to the links @Luuk provide, you may want to take a look at these:

Typography:

10 Rules Every Designer Should Know - from Webdesigner Depot

A Guide To Web Typography - from I Love Typography

Color Theory:

Colors in Web Design - 1stWebDesigner

Color Theory For Designers - Part 1 - from Smashing Magazine

Color Theory For Designers - Part 2

Color Theory For Designers - Part 3

I had the links handy because I refer to them often. Hope this helps
