Re: [WSG] Colors for web design
not trying to be cute, but go to an art supply store and buy a color wheel. a color wheel will show you primary, complementary, tertiary, etc. colors. it's a great tool for finding colors that work together. dwain On 12/14/07, Michael Horowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone know a good online resource or book that discusses how to decide the best color combinations for use on the web. -- Michael Horowitz Your Computer Consultant http://yourcomputerconsultant.com 561-394-9079 *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** -- dwain alford The artist may use any form which his expression demands; for his inner impulse must find suitable expression.

Re: [WSG] Colors for web design
Hi, Principles of Beautiful Web Design is worth a read, not only for the information on colours and the theory behind is but there's also plenty of other useful design information especially for web developers who aren't from a design background. http://www.principlesofbeautifulwebdesign.com/ There's also plenty of colour combination websites about, only have this one in my bookmarks though... http://www.colorcombos.com/ Hope that helps.

Most online resources about how to decide the best color combinations are put together by programmers and coders who know even less about color than you. The library is full of books on color theory. A practical method is to find sites you like, and use a color picker to pull color from them. With time, your skill with doing spins on these will improve. As will your sensitivity to color both on and off the Web.
