Developing an effective color scheme is one of the most common challenges in web design as it can completely change the look and feel of a website and dictate the mood and tone of the page. A web design that uses three to five colors is most pleasing to the eye.
Mixing colors can be distracting and, if not undertaken correctly, can make a project look unprofessional. The background color is the most important color to take into consideration for a web project; while some websites opt for a more simple color scheme, sometimes even monochromatic, some designers decide to use a variety of colors to make their website pop and visually engage the user. Colorful websites can also be attractive and well designed.
