You might also need colors to emphasize different semantic states, like red for confirming a destructive action: On top of primary colors, every site needs a few accent colors for communicating different things to the user.įor example, you might want to use an eye-grabbing color like yellow, pink, or teal to highlight a new feature: Ultra-light shades can be useful as a tinted background for things like alerts, while darker shades work great for text. Just like with greys, you need a variety (5-10) of lighter and darker shades to choose from. These are the colors that determine the overall look of a site - the ones that make you think of Facebook as "blue", even though it's really mostly grey. Most sites need one, maybe two colors that are used for primary actions, emphasizing navigation elements, etc. True black tends to look pretty unnatural, so start with a really dark grey and work your way up to white in steady increments. Not so many that you waste time deciding between shade #77 and shade #78, but enough to make sure you don't have to compromise too much. In practice, you want 8-10 shades to choose from (more on this later).
You'll need more greys than you think, too - three or four shades might sound like plenty but it won't be long before you wish you had something a little darker than shade #2 but a little lighter than shade #3. Text, backgrounds, panels, form controls - almost everything in an interface is grey. You can break a good color palette down into three categories. To build something real, you need a much more comprehensive set of colors to choose from. You can't build anything with five hex codes. Well, unless you want your site to look like this: What you actually need This calculated and scientific approach to picking the perfect color scheme is extremely seductive, but not very useful. Now 'I'' have to pay ''them'! I meant 'physically'.Ever used one of those fancy color palette generators? You know, the ones where you pick a starting color, tweak some options that probably include some musical jargon like "triad" or "major fourth", and are then bestowed the five perfect color swatches you should use to build your website? And those jerks at Social Security stopped sending me checks. Suddenly, I'm going to the bathroom like clockwork, every three hours. I've got to find a way to escape the horrible ravages of youth. Okay, it's 500 dollars, you have no choice of carrier, the battery can't hold the charge and the reception isn't very….I have to go and buy a single piece of fruit with a coupon and then return it, making people wait behind me while I complain. Perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything. Why am I sticky and naked? Did I miss something fun? You won't have time for sleeping, soldier, not with all the bed making you'll be doing. Ask anyway! Hey, guess what you're accessories to. And yet you haven't said what I told you to say! How can any of us trust you? Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch It's like pimping, but you rarely have to use the phrase "upside your head." My fellow Earthicans, as I have explained in my book 'Earth in the Balance'', and the much more popular ''Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth', we need to defend our planet against pollution. Would you censor the Venus de Venus just because you can see her spewers?Īh, computer dating.You can see how I lived before I met you.Hey! I'm a porno-dealing monster, what do I care what you think?
