How to choose colour for an online project?

Colour is extremely important!

We perceive almost all information from the outside world visually. Sometimes a product is chosen just because its colour is very pleasing to the customer. Conversely, colour can ruin your career. You don't go to important meetings in bright clothes with strange prints, or in T-shirts and shorts with prints that are quite appropriate for the beach. In the same way, users will perceive your website online. Visitors should get the right colour signals and stay on your site, the colours of the site should not irritate your visitors and cause them negative emotions. They should attract like a magnet and encourage them to take action - to buy your product or order a service.

Therefore, it is very important to choose the right colour palette for your site. Do not use a lot of colours and shades. If appropriate, bright or contrasting can be done only important accents - links, headlines, important messages, and lead the user through the site with them. Typically, for ease of reading - the background of the site is light, the font is black, blue links. These are common standards. Classic of the genre. But you need to consider a number of factors.

Target audience

When choosing a colour scheme, you should consider the target audience of your project. Who these people are: men, women, young people, age, country, income, hobbies, mentality ... Your business should be taken seriously or, on the contrary, they should enjoy the bright colours of an entertaining project. For resources where the primary audience of children, it is better to choose bright and juicy colours. Women - light and gentle shades. Men - dark or neutral. And of course, it is important that all the colours you choose are in perfect harmony with the company logo and its corporate colours. Sometimes the colours used are those established by the logo's designer +-.

How to choose a colour

There are no absolute rules. For any project you can perfectly use absolutely any colour. The main thing is to choose colour combinations skillfully. If your company is called "Orange" then the orange scheme - is natural and strange will be the main colour blue. Although a skilful designer combines blue and orange perfectly:) These days, men can wear red socks with black shoes. Anything is possible, but be careful. Do no harm - the main principle. You want to, but think of your audience. The site should be a model of taste and give aesthetic pleasure.

You don't have to use a lot of colour for the site. 2-4 main colours or their shades. No more. Where and how do I pick them up?
There are a lot of excellent services for matching colours.
