Web Templates & Selling Houses
I'm currently designing a range of templates/themes for use with Whird. As a result of this I've found myself thinking an awful lot about colour schemes and combinations. I've also been researching colour theory and application. To be honest, I'm about all coloured out.
The conclusion I've come to, with regards to choosing colour schemes for my Whird templates, is that I'm going to use neutral/passive colours. My main reason for this doesn't actually stem from the research I've been doing, it comes from my experience of selling houses. What I learned from my time in the housing market was this:
When selling your house, stage [decorate] with neutral colours. Neutral colours appeal to the broader market and will help to sell your house quickly.
I'm going to apply this working colour theory to my web templates; after all, if it's good enough for the multimillion £ housing market, it's good enough for my free web templates :)
