Monochromatic Color Scheme...
The monochromatic color scheme uses variations in lightness and saturation of a single color. This scheme looks clean and elegant. Monochromatic colors go well together, producing a soothing effect. The monochromatic scheme is very easy on the eyes, especially with blue or green hues.

Analogous or Adjacent Color Scheme...
The analogous color scheme uses colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. One color is used as a dominant color while others are used to enrich the scheme. The analogous scheme is similar to the monochromatic, but offers more nuances.

Complementary Color Scheme...
The complementary color scheme consists of two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. This scheme looks best when you place a warm color against a cool color, for example, red versus green-blue. This scheme is intrinsically high-contrast.

Split Complementary Color Scheme...
The split complementary scheme is a variation of the standard complementary scheme. It uses a color and the two colors adjacent to its complementary. This provides high contrast without the strong tension of the complementary scheme.

Triadic Color Scheme...
The triadic color scheme uses three colors equally spaced around the color wheel. This scheme is popular among artists because it offers strong visual contrast while retaining harmony and color richness. The triadic scheme is not as contrasting as the complementary scheme, but it looks more balanced and harmonious.

Tetradic (Double Split Complementary) Color Scheme...
The tetradic (double complementary) scheme is the most varied because it uses two complementary color pairs. This scheme is hard to harmonize; if all four hues are used in equal amounts, the scheme may look unbalanced, so you should choose a color to be dominant or subdue the colors.

A color scheme based on nature....

      Nature provides a perfect departure point for color harmony. In the illustration above, blues and greens with a gold-yellow background create a harmonious design, regardless of whether this combination fits into a technical formula for color harmony.

      How color behaves in relation to other colors and shapes is a complex area of color theory that will also be evaluated.

Color Harmony:
       Harmony can be defined as a pleasing arrangement of parts, whether it be music, poetry, color, or even an ice cream sundae.

      In visual experiences, harmony is something that is pleasing to the eye. It engages the viewer and it creates an inner sense of order, a balance in the visual experience. When something is not harmonious, it's either boring or chaotic. At one extreme is a visual experience that is so bland that the viewer is not engaged. The human brain will reject under-stimulating information. At the other extreme is a visual experience that is so overdone, so chaotic that the viewer can't stand to look at it. The human brain rejects what it can not organize, what it can not understand. The visual task requires that we present a logical structure. Color harmony delivers visual interest and a sense of order.

   Harmony is the dynamic equilibrium we will strive to achieve with your site.

Not all computers are created equally.

      Some computer monitors can only see a limited amount of colors due to the quality of the graphics card, amount of memory, and other things. That is why a standard has been created called web safe colors.

      The colors that are "web safe"  are included on the chart below.

      After choosing some colors that you feel connected to, add them to the question form under color choices. Please include the number combinations with color name/description that you like the best.

      These colors are based on the WW3 color chart for web design.

      Here is a chart of 256 web colors arranged by hue with their hexadecimal codes and color names.

      I can use any font from anywhere for logos, image maps/menus and titles, headings and so forth by creating graphics with that font. Another web limitation is the ability to see font styles. A viewer can only see the font you use if they have the same font in their computer. Below are standard fonts that all PC's have in them.

The only types of fonts that can be used for
