Second
hardest part is the color palette
selection.
A
very good element to start with
is the client’s logo.
You can usually extract your
primary site colors from here,
making the choice of complementary
colors easier. One factor to
consider when picking colors
is the type of site you are
making because colors affect
the mood of the viewer. For
example, if I’m designing
a corporate site, I would normally
stick to light, solid colors.
Because they’re easy on
the eyes yet very clean looking,
they convey a very professional
quality.
Here
are the colors I extracted from
the client’s corporate logo.
I
need to add more colors
since I have a couple of
sections that need to be
highlighted. I’ve
chosen these complementary
colors in addition to my
initial primary color palette.
Some will be used for accents,
others for section labels.
