Choosing Great Website Colors...

[MJ DeMarco]

Designing a website? Or having it outsourced?

Ever wonder which colors are best to use for your website or logo?

Aside from general readability, the best color choices often depends on your service/product and what you are trying to communicate.

A website for teen girls would might not work using orange and black. Try pink.
A website for financial advice might not work using red. (Red = Losses!) Try green.

Here is a great list of colors and what they implicitly might convey to your users.
