Which colors do you prefer in your designs ?

[letterman]

It all depends on niche of website. If it was dating site: My color: RED/Orange,
if it was business related: then Plain White and Dark Blue,
If it was Music site: then something black with Light Green.....

........ and the list goes on.

p.s. I am not that great designer

Blue, Green/cyan, orange and yellow makes a nice scheme.

Pretty much anything except deep purple/blue works for me

[JonnyHoy]

As most people have said, it mostly depends on the type of website. Usually, I prefer modern colours and sometimes a colour-scheme which clashes but flows at the same time..

I also like mono colour schemes which make effective use of colour simply for highlighting and emphasis..

However, I usually just end up with a 2/3 tone scheme...and it's impossible to say what the colours will be - as long as they're distinguishable.

I do not prefer any colors. A designer must keep total objectivity with work, he has to use what the client needs, not to surrender by own subectivity and preference capricious. So I would say ... color preferences are bad sign ...

No meen to offend, but that´s the way I was taught.

Good luck!

Love To All The Colors. Use Them As Per Requirements And Central Idea.

[hector]

It depends on each project, each client is different and has different needs, but as an illustrator I like exploring contrasting colors that usually do not work and see what happens.

[magle]

It depends on the client. but i really like to work with white and blue colors

[Belinus]

I almost always end up using shades of purple, blue, green and some deep reds. I try to shy away from tints and pure hues unless a client would prefer those.

[szarak]

depends =p but mostly red with yellow there we got orange ;D, blue with black or white green sometimes, with yellow usually.

[keegan_re]

I prefer Soft colour and Black n White ^^

[lindlau]

I've just learn

blue makes you calm
and red,orange and yellow makes you hungry,

personally i love black websites with green or red, or yellow, any colour actually looks nice on black, but unfortunately not always u can use it.

Orange, Blue and Black, seems like that the hot colors combo right now, lately many clients have requested these color on a lot of my assignments, now I'm really digging them.

[bschall23]

I really like anything complimentary. Shades of blue and orange together is probably my favorite combination.

[mik3y]

I like all of 'em but most of the time I love dark colors as it makes the artwork look more innovative/modern.

but I really enjoy with all of 'em.
I find that very bright colors are sometimes very unnecessary and they kinda suck :P.

Black, white, green, dark blue, light grey, dark red..

[baiskee]

It really depends what kind of design...

but mostly, I do start with Black and Grays then Primay colors - Red, Blue, Yellow.

[DreamSky]

Definitely blue. I don't really know how that happens but I end up using blue as the main color most of the times.
So I really like the blue/orange schemes but I also like the combination of dark-red/black/white very much.

[dreamofme101]

Hello. I find that in my designs the colors black, white, red and blue seem to come up a lot. I also like to to a lot of black and white designing. I never really knew why, its just something I always did. Awesome Question by the way!!

[g0ld3n_tig3r]

I usually like cool colors : light green/blue
But in case of working for someone else I really cannot use colors which I prefer. Have to go with the client

[druiddesigns]

It depends for me what the client is looking for, but i really despise using black, cream, and brick red. Focusing mainly in the sports industry i can't help but cringe with all of the brick red and cream sets out there, it's cool for about an hour then blah. some colors that i have had success with ( just the general names) purple,orange,yellow,black,white,gold (all in one logo i might add
