But once you have answers to those questions, picking out your perfect color scheme for your new website becomes much easier. As does picking up the <a href=\"\/complimentary-fonts-for-web-design\/\">perfect fonts<\/a>, shapes, textures and more.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But those are all blog posts for another day.

If you really dislike one, there\u2019s no need to force it. There are plenty of colors in the rainbow.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your brand name has a color, or object in it that is represented by a specific color, you should consider including that color as well.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, I LOVE the color yellow. And also fireflies, which glow yellow\/green but are often represented by the color yellow. Because of that, there was really no question that I wanted to use the color yellow in my color scheme. Beyond that, yellow also represents happiness, optimism and being carefree, all things I want my clients to feel when working with me. <\/span><\/em><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many colors should I use in my color scheme? <\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is totally up to you, however I recommend a minimum of three colors and no more than six. Regardless of how many you choose, you will then want to choose at least one main color and 1-2 primary accent colors. Too many colors just results in overstimulation and brand confusion. No one wants that. I personally like to choose four and designate them like this:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One bold color for headers, buttons and call to actions<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One dark primary accent color for texts and symbols<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One light primary accent color for backgrounds<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One additional accent color for use when needed<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples of popular color themes for
