Color Schemes Designer

Having trouble figuring out what colors to use on your lenses and web pages? What colors go well together? How many people can actually see the colors that you see? And — most important — read the colors you've chosen?

Here, I tell you a little bit about Color Scheme Designer and give you the link where you can go and bookmark this wonderful site for choosing just the right color for your websites and lenses.

Triple click

Can you read the following? If it's too painful, triple click in the middle of the box. :)

I have something important to tell you, but I know your eyes are now twitching (and you're possibly getting dizzy), so I'll stop now with this poor choice of colors.

Color Scheme Designer

Introduction

This little whiz will help you choose colors that work well together.

Once on the site, you can click anywhere in the color wheel and get color sets (or choices). You can then move on to adjust the saturation and brightness if you wish. It has many custom choices — from the Default Scheme to Light Pale Pastel to Almost Grays With Color Accents (dark). Fiddle with the options. There are lots!

Color Sets

Once you've decided on the colors you like, you can view a "light page" and/or a "dark page" example. They'll give you great ideas for how to use your chosen colors.

Yeah, I'm not too talented in the design area . . thanks for such helpful advice and information. I am certain this is very important (and more than I could do on my own). Great lens MiMi!
