It invokes an atmosphere and sets the mood. One method for using color is to use only shades of a color, which is known as a monochromatic color scheme. http://tc.eserver.org/32760.html http://tc.eserver.org/32760.html COLOURlovers™ is a resource that monitors and influences color trends. COLOURlovers gives the people who use color - whether for ad campaigns, product design, or in architectural specification - a place to check out a world of color, compare color palettes, submit news and comments, and read color related articles and interviews. http://tc.eserver.org/32433.html http://tc.eserver.org/32433.html In this article, I’ll cover colour basics and three simple colour schemes so that you can feel confident about choosing colours for your site. I’ll follow up this article with another piece on how to simplify these colour choices. After all, it’s more fun to enjoy the compliments on your Web site design than it is to sweat over the colour choices. http://tc.eserver.org/32435.html http://tc.eserver.org/32435.html After a web designer presents a site’s architecture, or wireframe, to a client for approval, the next step is to determine the look and feel of the site through colour and graphics. In this article, I’ll demonstrate how I keep this process as simple as possible, both for myself and for the client. http://tc.eserver.org/32062.html http://tc.eserver.org/32062.html Many sites “play it safe” when choosing colors. Brilliant colors have to be carefully controlled to avoid looking amateur. I’ve selected these 20 sites for excellent use of color along with their overall web design. Quality of CSS, features, ease of use all come into play as well. http://tc.eserver.org/28392.html http://tc.eserver.org/28392.html Colour is one of the designer's best tools. There are lots of ways to use it to help communicate a message. Colour can carry meaning, express personality, differentiate, frame, and highlight content. http://tc.eserver.org/26962.html http://tc.eserver.org/26962.html 从心理学角度来讲，不同的颜色代表不同的意思。从这个观点出发，本文讨论网页界面中背景颜色和内容颜色的关系。了解这个关系，有利于：a) 为网页中不同的内容选择适合的颜色；b) 浏览网页时，可以方便的找到需要的内容。 http://tc.eserver.org/25896.html http://tc.eserver.org/25896.html This series of articles about color is designed to help you get started right now selecting colors for your site. http://tc.eserver.org/25750.html http://tc.eserver.org/25750.html These out-there colors won't come alone, or even in pairs... they'll be seen in packs. Designers, desperately searching for something fresh and new, will go balls out, applying this palette to tripped out patterns of stripes, polka dots, and plaids to create looks similar to those seen on the streets of Tokyo. http://tc.eserver.org/25395.html http://tc.eserver.org/25395.html Psychologically speaking, different color has different meaning. From this point, this article focuses on the relationship between the background color and content of the web interface. http://tc.eserver.org/22666.html http://tc.eserver.org/22666.html You're seeing red. They're seeing orange. Not the same, is it? More often than not, color on the web is approximate. So how do you choose colors that are going to work best? Are you forever stuck with the old 216 color 'web-safe' colors? Is there technology that ensures what you see is what your visitors get? http://tc.eserver.org/21393.html http://tc.eserver.org/21393.html The web is awash with sterile design solutions. IBM, Dell, Microsoft, and countless others are virtually indistinguishable from each other. Though one might say this makes browsing easier by virtue of a standardized interface, in reality such sites create mundane experiences for their users and fail to make a positive connection with their audience. http://tc.eserver.org/20560.html http://tc.eserver.org/20560.html Each day, thousands of websites lose credibility and all-important return traffic -- not because they're poorly written, constructed, designed, or advertised, but because of: colors that clash colors that camouflage colors that just plain don't work! Attention to color on the web is generally considered the province of web-design professionals -- but those of us who study and teach professional writing are in a prime position to use our knowledge and skills to lead the way toward a more aesthetically-pleasing, and rhetorically-effective, World Wide Web
