Hello all,

I am a newbie to the forum I hope I've posted this in the most appropriate section.

I am new in graphic and web design. I've decided to investigate how colour may influence a viewer visiting a website.

If you could spare me a few moments to answer my questions it would help me out enormously!

So...

When visiting a website do you pay any particular attention to the colour scheme? I.e. how well thought out it is and how it fits in with the overall theme of the website and its purpose?

Have you found that web designers tend to stick to pastel colours when designing female orientated websites? Or does anything go?

What would you consider to be the 'safest' colour scheme which will work with practically any website and why?

Thanks very much in advance!

Yeah, color is one of the factors that visitors will visit your site again. Cool colors has big impact to viewers.

Yes, color is one of the factors that determine how good your site is...
Most user are into the design, and some are just for contents... What if you could combine it both?, it would be really great...

All colors have positive and negative effects depending on context, and evoke responses tempered by the experience of those viewing them.
Well-chosen color scheme can project a sense of reliability and trustworthiness that reassures users of your Web site about buying from or working with you.
