Professional designers not use random color combinations. Each color affect different the human brain and mood. One beautifull website that I first saw several years ago about color communication and symbolism is color in motion by Maria Claudia Cortes.

In this article i’ll refer some useful tools that i have tasted before for the right color combination on color wheel. A great on line application that allows you to produce your own color theme, or choose one of several color themes created by other users is Kuler

You can edit, add or remove colors from the color palette you choose to fit perfectly your requirements.

Create a new color theme from color

• Choose create from the left menu
• Place mouse over the square and you ll see two options ‘Set as Base’ and ‘Remove Color’.
• Remove four of the five colors.



• One color has remained. Edit the color codes and choose the profile you want RGB, CMYC, LAB, HCV and HEX or drag the circle inside the color wheel to select the color manually.
• Set it as based color.
• Choose the right rule for you, Analogous, Monochromatic, Coplementary, Triad etc. from the menu on the left.
• Add new color based on your selection rule.

You color theme is ready for use. You can save your color values. Or take a screenshot an save it as an image.

New color theme from image

• In the left menu choose create.
• Choose from an image.
• Upload button below the image container and browse your hard disc to choose the image you want. The image must not exceed the 2.5Mb.
• Kuler system generate automatically five spots inside the image depending on the selected option in mood menu on the left. Play with this menu to understand how it works. It is very interesting tool.

One more on line color tool is Color Scheme Designer 3. This is almost same with Kuler but here you have the opportunity to see the colors like someone with colorblind. This is very interesting tool for accessibility in web design.

The logo may be an image, a symbol, a word, a shape, or combining two or more of these data. The objective is to convey the message to the audience very quickly and with minimal effort.

Effective criteria for the logo:

• Be simple. Less complexity means more direct and effective.
• Be unique. This will stand out from the others, leading to public attention. Imagine a product in a supermarket among many other competing products, how difficult it is to gain attention.
