A couple pretty cool looking designs from Nikon for their COOLPIX camera. I thought I’d post them here and say that I really like the designs as well as the text.

We all have a color DNA what’s yours?

This goes for your website as well.

I’ve always been fascinated with how colors affect the way we think and feel, as well as our actions.

Some colors affect us more than others and some people are affected more by the colors but just the same we are all affected.

When it comes to designing your website, to ignore the power of colors would be to ignore an essential element of a good website design.

Another extremely important element to colors is not only the properties or emotions each color conjures up in each of us, but also how combinations of colors make people feel. And to further complicate your perfect color selection you also have to be concerned with the fact that people have to be able to read your content or the most beautiful color in the world will be for nothing.

No matter how important the content on your site may be to someone, if they can’t read it due to bad color selection they will leave in search of another site to serve their needs.

Here are only a few colors and what emotions have been shown to be raised with each.

* Green jealousy, good luck, and harmony
* Blue calming, peaceful and builds trust
* Red color of action, anger, Love, impulse and impatient
* Purple nobility, spirituality and creativity, passion
* White pure color, innocent and clean
* Black serious, mysterious, mournful and lifeless
* Yellow happy, cheerful and joy
* Orange positive, enthusiastic and warmth

People believe you can even see colors in music, one thing is for sure though, colors cause a physical and emotional reaction in each of us. Colors can cause headaches, sickness, relaxation, pleasure, tension, passion, peacefulness or irritation.

So when it comes to your website design, choose your colors wisely.
