Managing colors for designing website graphics



Colors add life to an object; and when it comes to websites, the colors you use play a crucial role in deciding the look. The colors are chosen on the basis of factors like the logo of the company, colors of its products and their packaging, nature of the industry, purpose for which the website is being created, the theme that it is following and the target viewers. When you need to create a new website, paying attention to the colors used becomes one of your primary tasks.

However, even after you decide a color and tone, based on all the above factors, you may face some problems regarding how the website looks on various platforms. This behavior is called color shifting, in which the look of the website differs by a shade or two when it is viewed on a web browser, as compared to what it looked like on Photoshop. The quality of screens and the resolution also vary from one desktop to another; so a website can look darker on a laptop when compared to an iMac. The graphics on the website are affected in such a situation. To ensure that this problem is minimized, a few precautions can be taken on Photoshop.

While doing Website Designing Delhi based designers often make the settings, so that the websites they create run equally well on various browsers. The monitor resolution is adjusted to become as neutral as possible. The designers control color shifting, by choosing color setting as Monitor Color. The box saying ‘Ask when opening’ will also be unchecked. This process enables one to close the color management policies entirely. The profile on Photoshop can be saved for Web use, so that when the graphics are being viewed on a browser, no change occurs to the colors. Proper instruction must be given to a Web Designing Company in Delhi about the colors you need, and the browsers which you are going to use.
