I have a login page that I need to notify the user when they put in the wrong user name and password. I can handle all the validation stuff, but my question is what colors should I use that will grab the user's attention that something is wrong and says "Look at me!"? I posted an example of the colors I currently have. The background is the color I have to use, but I need to know what color to change the textbox background and the error message to. I need the colors to look professional and go with the background color.

Since you're already using jQuery, check out the jQuery UI Theme Gallery for really nice preset colors. You can also roll your own if you want.

check out messages.css in this github repo (it's mine yes) it's got colour schemes and icons already done for ya.
