I’ve always known colors had meaning but I didn’t fully understand what each color represented. When designing, I usually just use the color combinations I like the most and not the colors that communicate appropriately. For instance, I like blue with grey, orange with grey, green with grey, crimson with grey, and so on. Can you tell grey is my favorite color when doing web design? And who knew a color could mean so much? I sure didn’t but am learning.
Here is a brief list of colors matched with their interpretation. For a well thought out explanation of colors and meaning read more about how color can affect your blog.
