best color schemes for bedrooms
hey, this is chambley again from printplace.com, and i'm here to talk to you today about five color combinations you should never use. first up is yellow on green. these colors are highly used in advertisements trying to grab someone's attention. yes, very vibrant colors, like yellow and green, do stand
out to the eye when held up against other color schemes, but once they have grabbed the viewers attention these obnoxious neon colors tend to be highly unreadable. these colors yellow and green are too close in hue to be placed beside or on top of each other. second up is green on red.
my favorite color scheme the holidays, teachers, and the cereal box style of the grocery store. red on green works great for those homemade christmas tree ornaments you plan on making this season. but not anything print or web related. red on green text, or green on red text, is just plain hard to read.
the clashing of the colors causes the viewer's eye to react negatively to what it sees. if you look closely, you can see that when placed side by side, red and green cause each other to almost vibrate in contrast, tiring the reader's eye. third, we have purple on green. the infamous color scheme of barney.
when purple text is placed on a green background, it has a lot of the same effect on the eye as the color combination of red and green. while it might be shocking enough to catch the viewer's attention, it fails in the readability department. i don't recommend ever using the color combo for any print or web related graphics. you want to entice a viewer
make their eyes feel comfortable enough to continue reading further. make them trust what you are offering or saying in your ad. number four is red on black, a popular combo for from vampire movies if you're wanting to go a gothic route. red text on a black background is almost completely unreadable. black is just too bold bold of a color for any other text color to compete with.
to be honest, you should avoid all colored text on black backgrounds, even white can be hard for viewers eye to read sometimes. last but not least, is blue on red. a shout out to the patriotic color.while it's ok for red and blue to take part in the american flag. it's not okay for them to take part in print or web text.
these two colors can majorly vibrate causing readability to decrease. if you want to keep those patriotic colors in your print design make sure that white is your main color and accent it with red and blue. this will give the reader's eye breathing room. reading your offer or info. stay away from those color combos, and you should be alright.
