Lesson 5: Color

Colors on the Web: What a fantastic resource! I'm enamoured with the drop-down menus here -- they seem different than any I've ever seen. It's nice that they don't try to overwhelm you with color while they're talking about color. I'm somewhat distracted by the advertisements, but they seem to have kept it nicely basic.

Chapter 2 in Beautiful Web Design: Color. I found this chapter very useful, especially the part where he was talking about how he came up with the colors for the tile website. It's interesting to be aware of all the principles concerning color. Still, when faced with the variety of colors on the web design software, I feel all these principles going out the window. It feels like I just got a box of 100 Crayola Crayons and I want to try all of them out. I need to let myself just play a little bit with the colors and hopefully the principles will be in my subconscious.
