The CSS Color Collection Popular Color Schemes

Web Page Design is not just all pretty pictures and words. Designers need to prepare for their designs with consideration to colors, typography, illustrations, and more. Each aspect in a design should compliment each other, but yet contain the bold and soft textures to please the eye. Today's Web Designers are using CSS ( Cascading Style Sheets ) to design their layout typographic's and color-schemes. CSS allows us to design beautiful web pages which allow for cleaner code, and the best part of CSS is that our web pages are easier to update a color change site wide with just one simple change to the site wide style sheet.

You may not realize how useful and important these color collections and codes can be until you start using CSS. This is why a group of use decided to make up collections from sites that were rated top in their class for beautiful design. Either way I highly recommend you take the time to learn more about CSS, and use it within your web page(s). CSS is typically one lengthy style sheet that is relevant to a whole website. The way HTTP works, the browser will only download the CSS once from the web server and use the cached copy for the whole site. This makes for a faster loading web page which we all know is critical in the design world.

I've found the best sites start from something by mistake, or by using color collections you would never even considered using. Go ahead and surprise yourself to see what kind of design you can come up with.
