[SOLVED] Color theme when designing a website...

[~n[EO]n~]

Just getting curious to know how to design a website following a "Color Theme", someone told me "you haven't followed the Color Theme".

 

Is there any specific rule or it is just creativity ? How do you guys do it, just play with colors or pre-plan it ?

 

...curious to know

I just try to use common sense.

 

Historical sites, for example, typically want to evoke thoughts of antiquity and age.  Colors that are similar to faded parchment (slightly yellowed) or old, worn wood (dark brown) tend to work well.  Black and white images work well, too.

well, usually I let one of my designers handle that aspect If you aren't a designer you should find someone who is...it's worth the money to get a better product. Then you can spend more time learning HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, etc...
