RotorBlog.com: How to generate successful web 2.0 color palette

  • 0nkulis · 2 years ago
    When I need to choose sucessfull color scheme i usually go straight to Adobes Kuler, after slight modification color themes are ready to use, and they look diferent from any other colour scheme.

    Ah, color palettes. I have a collection of at least six online tools that have saved my career. This is another outstanding tool and probably better than all the ones that I already use!

    Thanks!

    I'm a graphic design challenged developer/programmer (surprise, surprise). Can any of you point me in the right direction here. I use Kuler to pick a palette I want to use in an application/site I'm developing but then what do I do to apply it. Meaning, what's the visual theory behind using a color palette on a site. Do I use the darker tones for the background or text, etc. Is there any articles, books, software on that or is it just something you do instinctively.

    thanks.

    Hi Ash,

    Actually, yes - you do that instinctively, just remember that information need to be readable because it is the main thing that you need to give to audience. And sometimes there are some unwritten laws that relate to colors (branding etc.)

    If you have some more specific questions hit me e-mail (Contact form) - I will try to help you.
    Good luck!

    I couldn't understand some parts of this article to generate successful web 2.0 color palette, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

    Thanks for the advice. Kuler IS amazing. Is there a way to export the palette values? I have been using palette fx which makes palettes from photos, but it does not let you mix colors like the two sites you mentioned.

    what about color picker? I've been using that to emulate complicated color codes and it works fine for me... :D
