"How to Colorise Your Site"


Too many colors to choose?


You want to design a great looking website, but you're not sure how to colorize it. Your countless choice of colors seem to submerge you in a state of confusion. So what's the answer?

“It is not quantity which counts [with colors], but choice and organization.” - Henri Matisse (1869-1954), French painter, sculptor, & lithographer
What Matisse is describing is simply called Color Harmony. Color Harmony is the answer.

So what is Color Harmony?
Very simply, it is the arrangement of color that creates a balance in the visual experience and is pleasing to eye.

Yes, Color Harmony, is just what you've been in search of. Sounds pretty simple…But I know from experience that getting to grips with Color Harmony can be overwhelming, and at times even confusing. So many colors, so many choices. And even more stupefying is the amount of color combinations like, analogous, complimentary, analogous plus complimentary, split complimentary, triad and tetrad.
Now, imagine, trying to create Color Harmony. Well it’s easy if you have the right tools. I was ecstatic to find this tool. An AMAZING Color Scheme Generator! And it's free!
