Flytyer Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Which colour or colour combination do you think best represents the Flyfish Calgary community? I looking at colour schemes for a project I'm toying with that may be board and site related. Appreciate any ideas or suggestions you may have. Quote
darrinhurst Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 I'd second that. Something softer than white and black, or white and blue. Something easier on the eyes. Maybe a moss green as the Title Bar and button Colours, but something like a soft yellow, or a butternut for the main windows. Wow.....how gay do I sound right now....... Quote
Flytyer Posted July 4, 2009 Author Posted July 4, 2009 Seems like brown trout is popular. I took some colour readings from the first photo at this link: http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?showtopic=8834 and these are the resulting swatch colours Which colours? Quote
cheeler Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 I or a bit lighter for the main text area, B for the title bar, J for the post divider, and C for the name/button bars? Hard to imagine without seeing it. I would love to see some bull or cutty color in there though. Quote
Lundvike Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Blue seems liike an obvious choice as everything we do revolves around water, otherwise I like E and B. Quote
Flytyer Posted July 4, 2009 Author Posted July 4, 2009 I should point out that I'm only looking at backdrops without title bars and buttons. Lynn, your suggested colours could make a very interesting gradient. Quote
birchy Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 F and C are what I had in mind. F and C or F n' G? Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 definitely ghij I second that exact combination Quote
Flytyer Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Here's a gradient of the sample swatches I posted earlier in this thread; it contains all 10 swatch colours. To me it seems a bit too much.......opinions? Quote
Weedy1 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Here's a gradient of the sample swatches I posted earlier in this thread; it contains all 10 swatch colours. To me it seems a bit too much.......opinions? Agreed, too much. Maybe try blending the colors more between the transitions and see how it works out. Quote
Flytyer Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Agreed, too much. Maybe try blending the colors more between the transitions and see how it works out. My personal thoughts are to go with no more than 5 colours but which 5 is the question. Quote
Flytyer Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 I am with Lynn on this one ghij is the ticket I liked it at first but after playing with other combo adding E to GHIJ might look better Quote
