Color is a large part of Web design, whether it's in the images you use, the font colors or the color scheme of the entire layout.
I've found that the favorite color(s) of a designer can come into play into what designs they like and prefer to build. So I thought I'd find out what the favorite colors are out there.
What is your favorite color?
As usual, there are other possible answers, if your answer isn't here, let us know what it is.
uhhhhh what?
once you find out peoples favorite colors then what?
step 1: discover your favorite colors
step 2: TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!
Mwuhahahahahahahahaha!
I like the rainbow.
*dances*
I believe I heard somewhere that blue is one of the best colors to use for websites because of how easy it is on they eyes… especially for business sites.
I have never met a color I didn’t like.
we can not make any web page or graphic through Favourite color poll results. Survey results always not 100% sure. Color schemes always according to project type. What type of project we are working.
Designer’s favourite colour can come in handy when designing a site. But it’s ussually the combination of the colour scheme to make the site appealing. Site’s with poor colour combination can really make the appearance of the site unprofessional.
Well I like a cool color. Blues or greens. My current website uses a Teal. I wonder if the color scheme has a big influence. Hot colors like red-yellow might indicate danger, excitement, etc. Cool colors for calming sites. Of course is this a cultural bias or physiological?
Rajesh: The purpose of the poll was not to say you must then always use the color that is most popular. The polls on this site are done for fun. The polls aren’t scientific in any way.
I ask the questions I ask to spur conversation or just because I’m curious (or both). Use the results however you want or don’t use them at all.
soft luminous gray/blue
Blue, but not navy blue, not royal blue, not baby blue, but this blue: #006699
My favorites are burgundy and navy blue but anything BOLD and SASSY works for me.
P.S. Jennifer, thanks for a great column and help in staying up to date without being overwhelmed. Your articles are timely and often cover areas of interest that I don’t have time to delve into. I am a huge fan!
I remember Walter Gropius(quoted in a book about Bauhaus)as saying ,as a young boy “Welche Farbe?BUNT,natuerlich!”In English it does not sound so interesting…”multicolored”
is definitely NOT BUNT.
By the way,Jennifer,the lessons are fine,only at 78 going 79 is not so useful,but I still like them,very much.Keep up the good work.Your fan,Mickey(nickname) from the Godforsaken country_Serbia.
I don’t particularly favour one color, just what suits my mood and the need, but of more importance is the chroma. Any color can be made to look good or bad with the right hue. Take for example this site, the colors are easy-on-the-eyes and simple, but imagine the same site with everything in a bright neon – it would drill a whole right to the back of the brain.
Black background with small hints of red or white……
Like Bob Ross used to say ” Dark to show the light”
PS: Jennifer thank you for so much good read… I can’t wait to see the next article after reading each one….. Keeps me entranced to the very end…. Your like a well written Stephen King book. Just can’t get enough!
Like with anything else, color on a web page depends on what you are trying to convey….the color chosen should support your market message, so to speak.
I like to be different – I call this look, passionate simplicity, so for my business site, it’s mostly white and black, with touches of red. Of course, I change things around on my own sites more so than I do for clients sometimes… LOL I’m also partial to the colors of beach glass… soft blues, purples, and greens. Non web speaking? My favorite color is by far, purple.
what about PINK?
ıt is lıght blue and light pink
Personally, the pastels of pink, like mauve, are the best for my personality, but on my website, I like the colors of nature for my horse art…but ALL colors are great!!
Well I like a cool color. Blues or greens. My current website uses a Teal. I wonder if the color scheme has a big influence. Hot colors like red-yellow might indicate danger, excitement, etc. Cool colors for calming sites. Of course is this a cultural bias or physiological?
What about turquoise!?!
thankx post good
that graph needs work
Yes, it’s too bad I couldn’t set the colors on the poll results to correspond to the colors I named.
