Choosing a colour scheme for your site with Photoshop

Posted on: 19th Jan, 2008 in Design, Web design,

Need a quick colour scheme for your latest and greatest website or print project? Using just a simple Photoshop file can give you great results in seconds. (Photoshop file included)

This will probably work with other photo/imaging applications, but Photoshop is what I have used to create this template.

The file is basically just the same square smart object repeated, with varying transparencies over a white oblong and a black oblong.

All you need to do is edit the smart object (called 100%.psd), choose your base colour (make sure it is a strong colour so that the file has enough range of colours to play with), and save it again so that it updates the original swatch.psd file.
