Dan J’s Website

As I gradually rebuild this website up from nothing, it amused me to have no stylesheet for a while, and just see black text on a white background with blue links that turn purple when you visit them. Talk about a throwback!

But now it’s time to add some colour. And I’m not a designer, but I know what I like. I’ll probably alter and update the palette plenty as I go, and then I’ll experiment with making this an “evergreen” post that I keep updating, but for now here are some resources¹ I’ve found useful:

• Siddharth11/Colorful: A curated list of awesome resources to choose your next color scheme
• Shadows of Regret Color Palette - ColorDrop – This site has a bunch of nice palettes, but I particularly liked the name of this one. I might try it out for that reason alone.
• Coolors - The super fast color palettes generator! – this is fun to play with.
• Reasonable Colors – I appreciate the name, and that it’s an open-source resource. Currently using some complementary colours suggested here.
