Choosing Color Palettes for your Website Design

Coming up with a new creative design is always a fun and exciting experience. When starting out I always look for inspiration from up to date designs via magazines, art collections and design websites.

Once this is complete it’s time to come up with colors and choosing a color palette. This is one of my first and favorite steps in the design process. Picking a good color palette is a huge part of the beginnings of a design so you want to spend the time to get it right. There is nothing worse than colors that don’t mesh together well.
