The Colors of Web Design
Dos of Color
- Think about your audiance and choose your colors around what they would like
- Give some of your text a background color
- Make the theme bright (unless your audiance would want a darker theme)
- Use online color pickers to choose your color pallete
- Use both complimentary colors and different shades
- Use the same color palletes and themes for all the pages on your site
Don'ts of Color
- Use a pure white background with all black text
- Use all bright or all dark colors
- Use only different shades of the same color
- Put uncomplimentary colors right next to each other
- Use the same two or three colors for everything
- Use too many colors or make your website look "busy"
