Have you noticed that most business websites use blue and white backgrounds for their websites? This is because the color blue evokes a psychological emotion of trustworthiness, success, power and professionalism. Meanwhile, white is associated with simplicity. Now what if a banking company opts to choose pink as its color scheme for its website? Would it still have the same professional feel as compared to a website with a color scheme of blue?
That’s why color choice is essential in choosing a web design. It is like an expression without words, telling your potential clients something about your company at first glance.
Color Combos is a great website to check color schemes. They have a color combination library that has thousands of color swaches to choose from. A lot of the color swatches available in their library are created by other users. The main attraction of Color Combos is their combo tester page that allows you to put together colors on your own or generate a random color pallete. Another feature of this website is their color ‘grabbing’ tool, which allows a user to check another website’s color scheme.
One limitiation of the website is that their color grab tool can only read HTML and CSS websites. But in general, the website’s a useful tool for previewing color schemes. Another plus for Color Combos is that its easy to navigate through the site, with clear-cut menu buttons on the page header and color tags on the side for easy access to color pallettes. I suggest you give this site a visit.
