Tips for using green on your website
The color green is the soothing and balanced associations especially suitable for sites that deal with nature and the psyche. No color for the website of a price fighter, but for pages like to emphasize on the argumentation and the realistic tone.
The power of the color green is also his weakness, the internet is sometimes just important to quickly grab the attention of a visitor and the color green just does not fit there.

I like all the thought and work you put into this Loes. My site is full of pink for babies. One of my goals is to learn how to code so I can change colors in the theme where I want to do so. I also need to spend time working on pictures to help them stand out where needed and just support if that is the purpose.

Good article and thanks for this link, very useful. It seems to me there was a fashion about 10 years ago to have black background sites. I see much less of that now- white as a background seems to predominate.

Nice job in training, Loes. I have a scrapbooking site and it's FULL of colors -- mostly muted red. I'm not sure what that means in your scheme of analysis. LOL. Of course today, I'm fighting with a new version of the theme. UGH.
