When designing a website, it is very important to choose the right colour theme. Because it will project your professionalism. However, there's not so many site that show us what colour to choose from. Hence, It's good if we could share colour that you consider good colour for professional website.

For me, I love: #333333 (that's the main colour, the rest is a similar colour to that).

What's yours?

Why do we have to take care so much about how to choose the colors? What i did was just to steal from other websites and assemble them into our own.

Don't you think it's a good idea?

my fav colours are black, white and everything else in bewteen. you didn't expect that from a designer huh? black and white are the default colours but if you use it in such a way it could turn out rather interesting.

i'm buliding my portfolio at the moment and the theme is dark and mysterious with tint of bright colours to add contrast. Wink

I like using darker pastel colours.. ones that look kind of greyish. I like putting two of the same colour together, but one darker and one lighter. I also like black and blue-greens. Sometimes I also like lime green for links.. but only it only looks good with black.

I'm very fond of black and then either the lime green colour or other 'neon-like' shades..or I enjoy black and a rich teal shade. Sometimes I will toss in a teal with a dark grey shade...those look pretty too.

Don't use just 1 sort of color scheme! The colors you are going to use all depends on the kind of project you are working on. Like do you want it to look dark or not etc!

I really love dark and light greys with highlights of a really bright colour such as lime green or pink.
