Like we reported in Flat Design Specialists for iOS 7, web design and development style has changed. And, as every fashionista knows, style changes aren’t complete without new color schemes to match. Web design color trends for 2013 boast more pastels, grays, neons, and color blocking. With these new trends, web and graphic designers can create visually pleasing websites that are easy to use.
Here is a list of the 2013 web design color schemes:
- Muted Pastels – In order to provide a more subtle feel to websites, designers are turning to a muted color palette full of pastels and neutral tones. This aids prevents visually overwhelming users and provides a friendlier atmosphere.
- Accented Grayscales – This design allows for simplicity, by easily directing the user’s attention to important information and interactive elements. By alternating grays with bright accents, the designer can also provide a more polished look.
- Neons and Brights – Just like skinny jeans from the 1980s, neon is making a strong comeback. Designers can create fresh and interesting sites that mix and match neon and other bright colors together.
- Color Blocking – This trend is less about web design color combinations or schemes and more about functional style. Color blocking is a great minimalist choice for graphic designers wanting to clearly define categories, sections and/or single elements.
Each one of these web design color trends can add functionality and provide a visually pleasing experience to the end user. Understanding color combinations and schemes is required for excellent web design and development. Mystic Media can design or re-design your site and make it completely up-to-date.
