I stumbled upon a challenge assigned to me by my Web Design instructor to find four websites matching the four common color schemes Monochromatic, Complementary, Triad, and Analogous. I fished through the world wide web to come up with these four possibilities.

I thought Hershey’s.com was a great example for the Monochromatic color scheme. Hershey’s features a rich brown tinted with a neutral brown followed by a light gray and silver hue.

The following site features fabulous e-cards, yet the site is a bit of a headache inducer. Jacquie Lawson exhibits the Complementary color scheme with the bold blues and reds.

The Harlem Globetrotters brings out the dark yellows, blues, and reds necessary for the Triad. This scheme in particular was a tough one to follow due to it’s over exaggerated brightness.

Last but not lease and one may beg to differ, I felt the Homies World website expressed an accurate Analogous scheme. It’s bright oranges tapering off into a dark red reflected this color schemes artistic simplicity.

Exiting the world of color schemes leaves me with the wonder of possibility; how color could affect the general purpose in web design. Wow, what an experience.
