Website Color Selection

Website color selection is as important to your website design as your text and graphics!  People see color long before they can absorb anything else on your website.  Color sets the mood and tempo of your website.

Select your website color combinations carefully for the message you want to present on your website.  Website color has a psychological effect on people and how they react to your website.  Some colors imply action, others peace and tranquility.  The chart above shows some psychological implications of color.

The color schemes below are derived mathematically using a color tool.  The examples are for complementary colors but there are other options such as contrasting color schemes to make for some colorful websites.  The numbers represent the HTML code for the color.
