Color Check

I like the all peach one and the orange content w/blue sidebar.

I like the peach with the blue content and orange sidebar.

I maintain a peachy kind of site myself. Yours is nice, but it might be a bit bland for you. The orange/blue schemes look a bit harsh though. Which leaves the blue/blue ??

Have we covered every alternative now? Great!

Thanks guys. I was tinkering some more this morning, I cam up with an orange/green/violet one (violet has since turned to blue at the request of a friend)

C&C?

Whoever picks the best color scheme will get credit on my site. =)

Thanks guys!

Orange limeade is a little too strong for me.

Send me an email, illustratedlife, I’ll send you the original ps file. techwench (a) gmail.com

I will get this right.

What about a a similar palette, but with less saturation, ie:

Alright, I have got Muted Limeade installed as my new theme. Thanks to everyone for helping, esp. Tech Wench. I’m glad I have my own color space – makes the site feel more personalized, and I think it fits a bit better.

Yes, muting the colors a bit helps a lot.

BTW, I like the blinking eyes too!

lol thanks, those were an accident. I like to use my Yahoo! avatar as my profile icon, but i didn’t have a copy of it on my harddrive, so I screenshotted it, but it happened to blink as I did, so I got it again. I had both aligned, and I thought it was a cool effect, so I made it a gif. =)
