Business of Blue.

I liked the point that the author made about using a hierarchy of colors.

"The first is the primary colour, used in major washing of objects and blocks to give the first "punch." The second is the subordinate colour, which is used to substantiate the claim the primary colour holds on the viewers attention. The third the accent colour, which should be used sparingly within reason so that the viewer's eye can jump from place to place to ascertain what is truly important about a particular project."

I think that this is definitely something that I can, and should keep in mind when designing my final project. The only possible issue is the fact that on my module 4, I seem to have a lack of colors. So far the first website that I've been working on has a lot of white, with a little bit of red... the red could have some variation,
however, I'm not exactly sure what to do with it just yet.

This article definitely caters to the website designer. Obviously, the main focus of the article is on the color blue, however, the idea of finding colors which work well together can be used across many different platforms.
