Many web designers forget to closely inspect their choice of colors. Most of the time web designers follow the brief they were given and try to apply it to the website. Sometimes unfortunately, the brief given might be a little messy, therefore causing the website to look chaotic if followed through. So what can a designer do to make sure it stays within proportions?
Read my blog for starters!!!
Anyhow, if you have ever studied web design then you would know the websites can only see 256 colors, and you would know that web browsers share only 216 colors, and bla bla bla. This is the more technical aspects of web design. But for those of us that need a simple explanation then here it comes. Make sure you only use a the most important colors of your brief. DO NOT, and I MEAN DO NOT, use only strong colors, such as: Blue with Red, and Yellow (YACK!). Make sure to use at least one strong color (ex. red) and some light colors (ex. light blue). Look at the contrast of your website and decide what looks better on what (you would not want white text on a yellow background)
These are the simple first steps towards designing amazing websites . . . . . . . NOT!
