$15 for a matching color scheme

Hi hi,

I need a matching color scheme for one of my adult websites / blogs.

The current design is here: http://www.fotos100.de/current.png
Here's an example of a color-attempt by myself: http://www.fotos100.de/attempt.jpg

You see the current design is gray and I want it to look more alive and friendly.
I'm open to all colors except for pink and anything that looks too aggressiv. I want to get away from that typical adult look.

When posting screencaptures please use the template from my current design or go to the site, take a screencap yourself and blur out all the adult stuff. You don't need to design anything, just color it

You can change any color you like, logo, link-colors, sidebars, header, whatever. It can be solid color or gardient. Don't worry about it. I just need an idea.

I'll pay $15 on paypal or epassporte for a color-scheme that I like and will use.
If I don't pick a winner I'll still give $5 for efforts to three people who's colors I like best if at least 5 people have participated.

Thanks,
Martin

 

How about this Obviously when done properly all those little imperfections wouldn't appear

 

Not bad, even tho I don't really like that kind of blue.
But it makes the site look more friendly and thats good.

Hope I'll get to see some more.

 

Thanks hash. Not too much changed but I like the gardient header.

 

ok man..if u think this is suitable..i can change the image more stylish....

 

No need to, I'll do the designing by myself. I just need color suggestions. Friendly, warm and matching.

 

These are probably not what you'd be after since they are a little excessive, but I figured why not show them anyways since it's easy to switch around colors.

Number #1
Number #2
Number #3
Number #5

Sorry if you are blind afterwards, but hey. At least it gets attention.

 

Thanks for them! No. 2 is my favorite but it's a little too strong and dark, not bad tho. Thanks for your efforts.

 

This isn't being graded on gradients and effects though is it? Just colors?

 

Color or gardients, open to anything. If I like it I'll just apply it (or redesign gardients) and pay $15 for the idea.
If I don't find a scheme that I will use I'll still give $5 to the three schemes I like best.

 

Here is my color attempt:

Cheers

 

i am doing it now will post soon

 

Please tell me how you like it. If you choose mine, I will give you the .PSD also

craptalks: don't like the colors, kinda too aggressiv.
shittywall: really nice. not sure yet if i'd want to use it but i like it.
tychicus: thanks for your efforts but it's also too aggressiv / colors are too strong.

forgot to mention: i'm going to end this tomorrow oh and don't waste your time. if your design is giving me the idea for what i want i'll chose it, even when it's not 100% what i'll use later.

Cool. If you want me to make any changes, I can make them

 

tychicus: sorry it's too dark, not friendly enough.
