The Importance of Color in Websites Many web designers are too interested in turning out websites as quickly as possible. The problem that they seem to miss is the use of good and consistent color schemes throughout their website. Here are some tips for choosing a color scheme for your website. 1. Choose colors that fit with your brand identity. If you already have a logo designed, you have a color scheme chosen. 2. White on yellow? Make sure that your background and your text color contrast enough to make it easily readable. 3. If you are using background images, make sure that text properly aligns with the images. Don’t allow the text to overlap borders. 4. Minimize your use of harsh colors such as reds, oranges, and yellows. Use these colors as accents, not main colors. 5. When choosing font colors, choose colors that are pleasing to the eye. This will help users be more willing to read your content. Choosing a color scheme is important in designing a quality and effective site. If you are uneasy about a color scheme, walk away from your site for a week. After a week, look at your site again. Any major visual issues will appear hear.
