Colours for Web
Web design requires a different colour theme and colour processing because of its particularly characteristics.In CRT (Cathode ray tube) screen, each pixel composes of three dots. Each dot carries one of three colours: Red, Blue or Green. When we see the image on CRT screen, our eyes mix these dots in order to produce the specified colour. In web design we use hexadecimal numbers to discribe a colour. For example, colour black is interpreted as #000000 and colour white is #FFFFFF. Web-safe colour is also applied on web. This method appears when people still used computer screens which were only capable of displaying 256 colors. In these days although most web-users use high resolution computer screen (over 16 million colours) but this method is also used for some reasons. Firstly, when using web-safe color theme, you ensure that you web page will be displayed properly and secondly, it ensures that your web page will work on High color monitor screen.gfsdfg
Using right colour theme and contrast is very important for web because when you create a web page you wish that it will be interesting and readable for everyone on the Internet. The application of colour theory is neccessary. Beside main colour themes: complimentary, split complimentary, analogous,... you also have to consider the harmony between text and background because this is the main part of a web page. Firstly, you should avoid colour clash, such as red for background and green for text. Secondly, you should retain the natural values of colours, such as yellow should be lighter than blue so it is not good if yellow is darker. Finnaly, there are some colour themes which have high readability such as black and white, blue and yellow... Moreover, some web users are blind in colours so you should choose a colour theme which is not hard for them to read, such as red and green should be avoided.
