[quote user="Jill Macdonald"]I know what you mean, for some crazy reason I decided to choose a different 'module colour scheme' for each module, but am now we've got 12+ modules, am running out of colours that work! (and it's starting to go a bit rainbow-like!)[/quote]

Ha - now if that's not a shameless plug, I'm not sure what is

[quote user="Sal the 1st"]but actually the very best colours which 'invite' people to take notice and look are purple and magenta. [/quote]

Funnily enough, that was my first choice, but it just didn't sit right alongside the other colours on VetSurgeon (I am trying to keep a standard colour scheme inside the sites)

its ok - but actually the very best colours which 'invite' people to take notice and look are purple and magenta. That microchip ad at the top of this page is bang on colourwise at attracting attention for most people (I studied this as part of my NLP sales)

It's so true though that colours are very strong in branding - I know I recognise the orange at the top straight away as being vetnurse.co.uk!

Oh crikey, I can't have people thinking that!!!

Actually, I'm a bit limited in the number of colours that 'work' with the other ones we use on both vetsurgeon and vetnurse, and which also give enough contrast against white text (this blue replaces the yellow, which I've never liked for that reason).
