Alright~ I was thinking about using this image for a webpage. But I couldn't decide on which color looks best. I thought that the blue was actually the worst because of all the subtle cool/warm hints in her. So the blue almost seems to throw it off and make it TOO blue. But that's just my opinion. I'd like yours, which one is best?

http://www.geocities.com/opalescent_dreams/cassduelistcolorpink.jpg

I've had two votes for the pink, one and a half for the blue, and two votes for the peach.

Personally... I like the peach because you don't see that in webpages often. ^_^

My opnion in this order:

1. Blue
2. Peach
3. Pink

I think that since the blue contrasts much better with the cherry blossoms and the girl's hair than the other other two, it makes the image easier to look at. However, if you're worried about the blue making it look a bit cold I've got two suggestions....

1. You could drop the cherry blossoms all together.
2. You could use a lighter shade of blue, or even a light shade of green.

I could see the green working really well in my head, but since I don't have access to photoshop right now, I can't really see how well it would work in reality. Just my opinions.

I like the blue the best out of the three, just melds nicely with the image and gives the feeling of a psuedo-Sky being there. Second best is the Pink, and I really don't care too much for the Peach one (doesn't really gel for me...)

hehe I guess I'm the oddball so far

I prefer the peach the most because of its subtlety...the character's color saturation is strong enough to make it a focal point and having a softer counterbalancing hue kind of leads the eye in a direction, and kind of tells a story more rather than being overly saturated. Not that it's super saturated, but the other two schemes are richer in hue, and given the character it makes the piece come on strong with no place to actively rest...

Just my opinion :) But I do like that shade of blue...

I vote peach. It works better with the character, and it's more subtle than the other two. The other two compete with the image more also. The character becomes the focal point easier with the peach because the blue uniform gets the chance to be more dominant. Maybe because the blue and pink are closer in value to the blue. I'd go with the peach.

I vote peach, since it highlights the uniform better, and is a nice mellow colour. Easy on the eyes. I thought I'd never say this, but the pink one is too...dark.

"my opinion" , posted Fri 28 Mar 11:39

well to be honest I sorta went for the peach for the same reasons as some of you guys listed here. It does give a chance for the blue to be dominant as peach is based off of orange which is the contrast of blue.. thus.. making the blue seem bluer and the peach seem peacher. It's an art technique. And it's subtle.. so it softens it.

But the vibrant colors while making it strong could be beneficial for a webpage. They don't quite follow the EXACT rules of art when making a webpage.

But it seems so far that peach is the top.

Thanks for making the poll!!! I actually don't know how to make one so.... umm.. yeah.

But if you plan to use black font, the peach WOULD be better.

But then again, I'm red-green colour-blind so what am I doing commenting in this thread or making tags anyways?

Well you have a point.

And dude! You're red-green color blind? Awesome! My pyschology teacher was red-green color blind. People would make fun of him for having different colored socks and stuff. ;_; Poor guy....... buuuuuut then again he was awesomely bitter and cynical. He was my favorite teacher ever! Woot woot!

Leastways I got a different reaction than normal. Mosttimes when I tell people of my colour-blindness, they immediatly point to some object and ask me if it's red or green.

I'm not bitter, and last I checked, I don't let cynicism get to me.

I, however, have been insominiac for the last week. Case in point - its 4.00 AM over here, and I'm posting this. Anyone know a good way to induce sleep?

I voted peach too, more or less for the same reasons. But I'm not that analytical, so I could say I actually voted it cuz I liked it more

red-green color blind? Curious, in Spanish it's called Daltonismo (Daltonism), because that famous Dalton (John Dalton I think?) had it and discovered it, and I thought it was the same way in English too...

Good point. I didn't even realize it was close to the complementary color for the blue uniform...

Definitely go with the peach. I'd favor strong composition over "bright color". The only drawback to the peach is that you kind of lose the cherry blossoms (or whichever flower petal that was?) in the peach background. Either lighten the petals, or shift their color? It's up to you.

I like peach better. Blue and pink are too strong for a background.

Well that's not very nice that they point stuff out and ask you about it. *Snorts* Bizatches.

As for sleep.. chamomile tea does wonders for every reason for not sleeping. If that doesn't work... try a healthfood store if you can find one. Melatonin can be bought in bottles. I recommend not over using it, though. Long term use of sleep enducing medications CAN alter the brain into not producing its natural melatonin anymore. Then you'll be really screwed. BUT that takes a while. You might try looking for some anyway. Chamomile is all natural, non addictive, and it's also a muscle relaxer, nightmare reducer, and a stomach soother. ^_^ Great stuff!

Hope that helps.
