Coloring websites - 10 online tools!

Selecting colors and proper application of them is an essential skill of a good web designer. We know that the colors used in a website are a major factor affecting the traffic received to that particular website. A visitor would not mind spending some time viewing a website which is attractive and not a disturbance to the eyes. If the colors used are not skillfully combined to comfort the visitors’ eyes, they will tend to leave the website very quickly, even though that website has a lot of great content. It is important to remember that you need to present information to the reader in a readable and a comfortable way.

In this article we are going to discuss about some useful online resources which helps to generate combined and matched colors easily that can be used in a website.

01 . Color Combos

This tool allows webmasters to test different color combinations. Also you can grab the colors from any website.

02 . CSS Drive

You can upload any photo you have and generate a color palette based on the image.

03 . 2 Create a Website

Select your desired color from the wheel and it will generate the matching colors to use with that particular color. This is useful if you are designing a website based on a theme color. For example you might have to design a website for a company which has a green colored logo. Then obviously you know that the base color should be green. You can select Green from this color wheel, and it will generate the other matching colors for you.

04 . Colors On The Web

This tool is useful to generate some random color combinations. You can spin the wheel and it will randomly select three colors from nearly sixteen million colors available. Personally I do not recommend this as a color combination generator because it does not consider the matching quality of the colors generated.
