Colors play major roles while creating websites or designing graphic arts. In order to draw the audiences, a designer pays much attention on colors. Cool color combination is pleasing to the eyes of the viewers. Websites with bad color combinations do not draw the visitors’ attention even if the website has awesome contents. Colors must give comfortable to the visitors.
As we know, all the colors are generated from the three primary colors red, yellow and blue. In earliest time, very few colors were used in computers and mobile phones. But today millions of colors are used to give better effects. In past, colors were identified with their unique names. Now hexa decimal code is used to recognize them as they seem in a very big range and it is difficult to memorize.
