monochromatic color scheme

May 2, 2012 12:02 PM

If I wanted to build a site that consistency would be the top priority would choosing a monochromatic scheme

be the best option to follow?

    I would say it personal choice, unless your trying to appeal to a certain group then it woulod be based on that groups preference. More often than not a monochromatic scheme is chosen because it appeals to a wide array of user who might happen upon your site.

     

    If you would like to have someone look at your project Web Design or Internet Marketing project and or plan just contact us!

    You mean all black and white?  Why would that be more consistent than using a color palette of say blue, white & gold?

    Consistency in websites is not just about colors. Having consistent colors but inconsistent font styles/ layout would still ruin your consistency. But, if color is the primary parameter you're juding your website consistency with, you could try Kuler from Adobe. A great tool for color palettes. You could choose from millions of pre-made combinations or you could even make one yourself.

     

    Do take a look: http://kuler.adobe.com/
