Colours matter

January 5th, 2007

Not every kid can program, while every kid can make a website! If you can argue with me about the first part of the phrase, the second has no doubt.

Definitely, website can be varied differently according to its level of complexity and tools used to make one. While almost everybody knows basic HTML and its continuations like XHTML and other add-ons, which help webmasters to simplify the code, like CSS, DOM technologies, sometimes people forget about the exact look of the website.

First person, who started organizing the colour behaviour and studying its harmony was our lovely Isaac Newton: I don’t remember, before that “apple accident” or after , but this scientist was the first who offered color wheel.

Of course, nowadays, you don’t have to renovate the wheel (don’t mess with Newton, that guy was stoke by The Apple!), you’ve got whole ton of different tools, which can help you to eliminate most friendly colours to organize the composition of colours on your website! Wellstyled offers two colour schemas: Color schema generator, and the second schema which gives you an ability of seeing the intersections of chosen colours - in some way can be easier.

Some other services give you a ready made coded variety of colours to be used in your web environments. And while you are choosing kinky colours for your website, take a break and think: why all the alarms are using red colour? Maybe ’ll make you pay attention on the psychological point of choosing colours for your project, because each colour means something in our daily life, and what if the your well built colour schema won’t effect visitors of your website in the needed way? In this case, psychologists made a good review of colour stereotypes.

So next time, when you think of making another website, develop a good and appropriate colour schema.
