website colours

[501damian501]

hello folk, i was wondering about website colours.

on my website i wish to use colours such as gold, black, white, then some lighter colours maybe pink, light sky blue.

whats your views on these colours ?

i want to have a nice, professional, warm welcoming image and a sign of elegance to my website.

Whatever colour scheme you use, try this handy tool to pick colours that go well together:-

For what?

Just listing colours doesn't really help us any.

Fonts, backgrounds, graphics, what?

Can you explain the actual colour scheme you have in mind? (eg. gold background black text? or the other way round?)

What colours are you planning on using for what?

here is a basic view as to what i was talking about, its only basic i know, but gotta start somewhere.

i want it to be, nice kinda colour full, not too much in your face, also, something which is not full of rubbish,just straight to the point.

Personally I don't like dark backgrounds on websites, but there are plenty of folks that do.

Use the link that Marc supplied & go with what you like best.

It's all subjective really.

IF your going to use blue buttons then use a blue back ground. Or a tiled background.

i could use gold buttons, but i think that would over power the website just a little bit to much, then it would get the chav effect lol

Why not pay for a Professional Template to be done to your standards and then just edit the content yourself?

If you are good at photoshop or anything like that get one of those free templates and edit them.
