But lovin' the earthy tones. Certainly. The first set was a mix of colors that I based off of a section of our website. The rest are colors that I generated when using different colors of the forum and main image as a reference. All sets, aside from 1, use similar colors. I'd advise only picking 1-2 out of sets 2-5.

It doesn't make sense to have a dark website and use bright orange or red, it isn't easy on the eye. I'm not saying those are the only colors to choose from, just a guideline. The point I was trying to make was that we need to keep the darker tones in mind. You can combine two of the colors (semi-contrasting) to make a badge, so the text/image stands out from the darkness of the background. Link to comment

I'm not an artist, but you can clearly see which color patterns go well together and which ones don't. I used the colors I listed in my previous post. 1 Edited October 27, 2010 by TheVirus Link to comment
