Last week I looked at the cheery color yellow , this week it’s the turn of yellow’s complementary color, purple.

It doesn’t evoke particularly strong emotions (except maybe a...

Unarguably one of the most important aspects of any design is its colors .

We’re coming close to the end of this series. Last week I posted about gray , with some examples of its use in web design. This week, we’re going darker and the focus is on black.
