Hi all, Ok,I am personalizing my first blog(will add a link later when I finish it) And I am bit stuck....well not stuck but I want too choose the right colors and fonts. First fonts,which fonts do you recommend to use for a blog that will look very professional,it must be a font that is easy to read and looks pretty nice in the same time. Now the colors... I want a mix off a white(ffffff) background,orange or blue menus with a border(probably black borders),and I already have a blue Header. Which colors do you recommend if I want a mix of white,black,orange,blue,grey?(give me color HEX) Can you tell me the best orange,blue,grey colors?(give me color HEX)
Go to Mashable.com - there you will find a tool that will help you with this colour coordination. http://mashable.com/2008/11/05/web-design-toolbox/ I havn't the time to scroll all the way through that list, but about a 1/3rd to halfway down you should find some tools that might help you. As for the font, don't be extreme, stick with a bog standard font and use that font throughout your site. Google likes black text on a white background.
If you're using FireFox, a better tip instead of doing all that would be to get ColorZilla - www.Colorzilla.com
Thanks for the help guys. Wow,I was reading this night approximately 5 hours all regarding colors and color schemes,but I can just say that it was worth the time investment because my personalized blog looks awesome now. I chosen a mix off Orange,blue,black,gray and white. Here is a good toll that I found to catch websites colors. Color tool
Personally, I believe you had visited many websites and blogs. Didn't you find some websites with perfect color scheme, including orange, blue schemes ? If yes, you can refer to their color scheme . There are many free tools to pick up color (HEX) from screen . (If you can't find, pls google "color pixel", "screen color pickup tools")
