Hello,

I am wondering if someone can help please? I currently use the Shop & Buy template. I am looking for help / advice please.

My website is currently using the generic White / Grey colour scheme. However, As I am selling wedding invitation cards, I would like to amend the colour scheme to more warmer colours (Red, Orange, Cream, bit of Gold - something along these lines).

However, I am the least creative person you are likely to meet (so I have no idea what colour combinations would look good).

I have looked at some websites to get some ideas - but obviously want my website to look much better than theirs :mrgreen:

Please see here:

bit.ly/1mKNTE2
bit.ly/1h3kjHw
bit.ly/Pjidrd
bit.ly/1pSorwh

Would anyone have some time to assist me with finding the best and most elegant colour scheme and help put this together?

Thanks in advance!!

use color scheme tool it might be also online tool - and check color schemes based of color from your logo
or use www.pictaculous.com or www.degraeve.com/color-palette and upload there your main image or logo - you will get best color scheme with all colors

Hi,

Thank you very much for the message. I will definitely have a look at this :D . One other quick question - once I get the color scheme right, it is putting it into practice that I may have a problem with i.e. I am looking to add some type of fading effects in or something different. Is anyone aware of any websites that I might be able to use whereby it can randomly show me how my website would look using random colours.

Not sure if the above makes sense - but what I am looking for is to make sure that the colours used combine well.

Basically I am looking for ideas as to which colour would look good where. The last time I had colours that I thought would be suitable.....the website looked really really bad :roll:

Any ideas would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance!!

No really, because it request many changes in css files.
But you have two options:
1) Build max 3 css styles for each color scheme - and show your client - he should accept at least one.
2) Make a screenshot of HomePage then use Graphic tool and replace color on layer

We all do this way.

or hire graphic artist, painter . :whistle:
