What color schemes have you found work best on your sites? Do certain colors go with certain niches? What colors definately don't ever work? With niches, have you ever tried following hanky color themes?
When it comes to color scheemes on sites generaly speaking *I* tend to use schemes using the moods individual colors reflect for the niches themselves so for example, on a fetish site i would opt for a red or a black them whilst on a twink site i would probably go for something along the lines of red, a deep pink, subtle blue or an orange.
We have an article in the directory detailing a bit of information about how colors can affect peoples mood so you might like to take a look at that also :)

I'm actually trying to put together a hankie codes website ... problem is pic content. So, until it goes up, can't answer you on how the various colors are going to work.
But if you're wanting some color combinations to look at you're more than welcome to check out my colorblock page:

I will share one colour with you, for straight mature maroon works beautiful! And if I told you any more I would have to kill you ;)
cheers,
Luke
which reminds me - where's the chart that tells what the bandana colors mean ??

I am horrible about picking out the colors. I make the clients tell me. :) I used to have a site that showed me different colors & the opposites, etc but I lost it.
Actually I was thinking about this question this morning, then I changed my site color to match my sponsor's site... All light green, ugly, but I guess I have to match.
I use the one hereQuote:

For backgrounds, black and white work really well for me.

You have to activate it in your profile. At the top of the screen go into User CP.
From the profile menu at the top click Edit Options...
Lines 7, 8 and 9 pertain to Private Messaging - allow it, email it and pop a window ;) All you need to do is set it them to Yes.
Hope this helps.
My best,
Gary-Alan
OK, I swear i'm not a blonde :blush:
Bec, I used your colorblocks page as a starting point for my new website...it was sooooo helpful and I love the way the colors work on the new pages. Also, your color matching link at the bottom of the page was useful too. Another color tool I found isEffective Color Contrast, designing for persons with partial sight and color deficiencies. I found it hard to understand at first, but it is a good test to check to see how readable the text color will be against the background color.Quote:

Also, Bec, pic content for your hankie color site? My imagination is running wild!
I'm so glad that helped you! So often I see folks trying to put up sites, and they figure out ONE color - maybe 2, and don't realize it takes a good 4-5 to really get some nice depth and substance happening.
Pics for what the hankies represent hasn't been the issue ... it's getting some good splash and tour pics and a few sets using hankies in pockets and other poses I have in mind that has been the problem. I own hankiecodes.com... and want to do it up nice.
So when is the new site going live Fister?
