Limit the number of
colors used in your Web site's interface to three or four complementary
colors. If you're unsure of complementary color combinations, use a color
wheel. |
|
Use contrasting
colors, especially if you're using a colored background. |
|
Keep your colors
appropriate for your message. |
|
Consult the Web-safe
color palette. Whenever possible, opt to use Web-safe colors to
avoid unnecessary dithering. |
|
If you can't decide
which colors will work best for you, go for black text on a white
background. The standard black-on-white combination is pretty much
bulletproof when it comes to readability and design sense. |
