The color changes are infinite like the wisdom of mankind. Each stage has a popular color and a color of the times! Web is a concept that promotes and positions some things, user-centric, group intelligence, sharing, and so on. at the same time, in line with these needs, some top designers and developers have given and led some popular color trends. I have summarized and collected some of my feelings, but I don't have a good idea. I hope to discuss what I can think of with you.> Let's Make a supplement!
Light colors and extended applications
Such colors appear to be first applied in some document processing software such as word, and the operating system (such as MacOSX) for classification archiving, marking, or highlighted for use. such colors give people a sense of environmental protection, do not hurt their eyes, and the contrast is just right, it can be effectively differentiated, not too abrupt.
Google and Yahoo use these colors more mature. MSN also sets Simple White themes in the new version of the website, and the new LIVE series products are more loyal to the light blue and 1PX lines ~ In addition, some emerging WEB-base office software also selects such colors in large quantities! Facts have proved that the use of these colors has gained the recognition of most users and led the trend!
Example: GMail, yahoo360, live.com, start.com, netvibes, rember the milk
Soft and comfortable excessive colors
These colors do not know whether they are related to the popularity of WEB standards, including some excellent CSS exhibition hall websites and the famous simplebit design works. They all use this soft and excessive color, some excellent THEME including blog will also be seen frequently. this reminds us of the change in Apple's crystal effect. From the latest TIGER system, we can find that Apple is gradually weakening the crystal and metal drawing effect, the transformation to a more intuitive and tough excessive color! To put it bluntly, it is more and more simple than playing so many tricks.
