Proposal Site Color

Summary

The color palette for the bridal salon virtual environment will consist of three main colors. I will use magenta, brown and gray as base colors and white and black to supplement them. This color scheme is a modification of split compliment of magenta, orange and cyan, using a gradient of magenta, a dark shade of orange and a cyan that is desaturated to gray.

There will be several shades of magenta and gray. The gray shades and the brown were drawn from the the wedding gown illustration logo. the magenta was drawn from one of my other research sites on a similar topic.

Two tints of magenta are being used for the striped background in the header. A magenta to white gradient is being used for the glassy look on the navigation bar buttons and a lighter gradient is being used for the button rollovers. A dark shade of magenta is being used for the logo and a flat tint of magenta is used to distinguish the sub-content form the main content.

Tints of gray are being used for the page background, the border of the main section, the border of the page name division, the tag line of the site and a gray to white gradient is being used in the footer.

The logo illustration has several shades of brown and one of them is being used for the main headings and body text. The background of the page name, the main content and the body text are white for maximum legibility.
