Colour Schemes 1
April 14th, 2004We all know that colour is important, because we respond to colours, including their shades and tints, and colour saturation. Since we use a minimum of two different colours in our sites (one for background, one for text), what colours do we choose? How do we make numerous colours work together? This week, we’ll look at a few colour schemes used by graphic artists, fine artists, and interior designers that will help us decide which colours to use for our specific products and services.
The colour schemes that work well together are called “Harmonies”, and today’s tutorial looks at how you can use three different types, monochromatic, analogous and complementary harmonies, to create a visually pleasing colour scheme for your site.
