Whaddaya think about my colour scheme?

Wybe · 12-03-2005, 01:27 AM

Hello people,
I recently re-did my website and I found two colours that I quite like. I decided to make a site with it (my portofolio), but I'd still like your opinion on it? I'm talking about the yellow-ish sunset colours. Does it go well with the gray, do you think?

Thank you for your time,

To dull for my taste, Also the yellow for the links make them very hard to read.

I think this is a very interesting way to show your work. I like the rollover effect, and I disagree with troubled1, the yellow makes the site have a rust type design/theme. To fix the hard to read part of his post I recommend increasing the font size.

Wybe · 12-04-2005, 04:08 AM

Thanks, andyy15 and Troubled1. I've taken both your comments in consideration (ofcourse

) and I've increased the font size.

I've also changed the font type to Tahoma rather than Trebuchet MS

I like it, very nice in my opinion, shows off some good talent in that website.
Congrats with the design.

interesting concept, but kind of dull

I definitely like those colors, but most people dont like the colors I choose. I guess my tastes are just too advanced. But way to go like the site.

the text next to forms is very hard to read... ALso i really dont like the yellow IMHO. Yellow isnt really professional looking like u have it

Wybe · 12-06-2005, 09:21 AM

Thanks people! psionictek, do you have an idea how to make the site less dull? I realize gray gets boring after a while, though a) you won't have to browse through my page forever and b) IMHO the gray looks good with the rest

Should I change it to another colour? If so, I'm very curious which, I can't think of any other.

meh i think the site is awesome

Took me 5 seconds to load and hey that's a nice rollover effect and nice color, orange does really works well with gray. I like it. By the way the gray color makes it difficult to read. By the way, I only visited the first page since you want some opinions on the color scheme.

Really nice design. Great to meet some one from netherlands.
