What color scheme you would like to have in your website?

Overall.

My main colors stay -> Orange, Blue, Green, DarkGray, Red

Other than those colors I don't use anything else.

But I usually use the following colors together.

Orange + Blue

Green + Blue

Red + DarkGray

DarkGray + Orange

My colors are lilac, black and white

Just built what I consider my best looking WP site yet with a blend of red, orange, and yellow highlights. *Still a bit worried it's a bit too colorful though... the page backgrounds are white with a deep dark grey text for easy reading.

I just finished tweaking another blog with black, green, bright green, and with a similar layout. To date, these 2 sites are my favorite WP sites to date.

At times, I wonder if the basic sites do better than all these paid themes with the 'busy' flair?

I happen to like the more graphical, artistic, and complicated stuff personally, but I'd almost bet the 'basic layout' gets just as much mileage if not more, as it can reach a broader audience.

To an extent, I feel the work we pour into our sites should be a reflection of ourselves and our creativity, so, I think the color is a small thing to consider, and the focus is still on the content and value within the site.

All the Best,

Art

Depends on my niche. In health related, I tend to use blues (probably the most common colour I'll use). Reds for the relationship niche. I opened a couple of online stores where I used browns for a handbag shop and purple for a tattoo related shop.

With all of them, I usually like to use a dark background (not where the text is of course... the text is on white background).

What I normally do is browse successful websites in the niche and see what kind of colours they use.

Variation of blue , dark blue , gray for business site . Other than that it depends on the niche or anything that my designer comes out with

Every site I make is different. Most start with a graphic - the header graphic or an affiliate graphic. Then I design the colours around that. I usually keep it simple - most visitors don't come to a site for an artistic experience - they come for information and they want a site that is easy to navigate.

I use Black / Black+White+Brown

Brown will improve image of reliability

^ That's all you need! I'm a designer and I use this for nearly all of my designs. It gives me ideas and it also sparks individual creativity. I love it. Palettes for all forms of design. This should help

Color scheme is important, people sub consiously feel the site from the coulor , its a well known fact that coulors relay feeling. ie... reds,yellows and shades of these colors reflect warmth,.... Blue,white and shades thereoff reflect cold... so on and so on, Yes blues can refelct warmth as well but in general the color scheme should be related to subject.

For example.. if you created a site to sell a holidy i would probably use both blue and yellow and shades of these colors to reflect oceans/sea etc... from the blues, and yellows to reflect sun and sand both giving an appealing and warm feeling.

Again color should be related to the subject and not overbaring that you turn the visitor away and i personly would use no more than 3 colors as other graphics may introduce color to your site. You might have use only one main color if your graphics produce 3 to 4 colors on there own.

Dark red, dark grey, black, orange and white.
