I’m a photographer, I’m supposed to have an artistic bent and an eye for colour, yet I cannot for the life of me come up with an acceptable colour scheme for this site.

Personally I quite liked the brown and tan that we had until today when yet another person commented on it looking like mud (or other unpleasant things), so I felt that a change was in order. Thankfully as the site is built using style sheets it is relatively trivial to alter the colour schemes at least from a coding point of view.

Actually picking the colours however is another matter entirely, I shall be honest and say that the whole website experience has given me a new found level of respect for the people who specialise in design. I am becoming increasingly convinced that whilst ‘doing it myself’ was a fun project and taught me a ton about HTML and so on, I really should bring someone in to do a complete re-write of the site from the ground up.

I’m going to see how the new cool grey scheme grows on me, but frankly I’m unconvinced. Anyone with suggestions for an improved colour scheme, feel free to make your thoughts known in the comments…
