How to choose colours for your web design

Choosing a colour theme for your web design is one of the most important, and potentially most difficult things to do.

it’s not just a case of choosing the right colours, which complement each other.  You also need to think about whether colours should be in relation to each other on the screen.  There are a number of things you can do, that will help when it comes to selecting colours for your new web design.  Sometimes it’s just a case of trial and error to discover a combination that works well for the client you’re designing a website for.

If there is a primary colour that exists for an existing clients logo or current web design, then you’ll be able to use this colour as the primary colour and adjusted slightly, to give your secondary colour by making it darker or lighter.this is a very simple way to get started in terms of developing a colour theme or swatch.

there are a couple of websites that are particularly handy when it comes to choosing colours one is called colourschemer.com and the other is called templatemonster.com.  These are websites that I came across whilst watching a video on mlwebco.com.  This is also an excellent video with some very useful information with regards to choosing colour schemes and swatches for your web design.
