How To Choose Color Combinations For Your Website (the easy way)

I came across a handy resource today that makes it super easy to choose a color 'palette' or color scheme for your website or blog (or even for your brand colors).

There are tons of example website color schemes with colors that go together and complement each other.

I've found it to be VERY handy - especially since they also give your the HTML color code for each color.

Pretty awesome, right?

I've bookmarked it because I know I will use it over and over for everything from blog colors to Pinterest pin colors - to even for color schemes for my eBooks and guides.

Now, I know we all love ALL the colors and really want our sites to look professional and look great...

BUT

(yep, there's always a 'but', isn't there? haha!)

If you want people to CLICK the links in your content, stick with time-tested blue underlined links.

I know the pink links are pretty... I like them, too =)

Remember, Internet Users have been "trained" over the years to click blue underlined words.

Plus, these days, a big majority of our site traffic is via mobile devices - which are small - which also makes it harder for your blog readers to see your links if they're not obvious and what the visitor is conditioned to KNOW is a link.

I talked about this recently in this 'Quick Tip' post on my blog, if you're interested.

Hope that helps!
