What are the unusual colour trends for web design?

Web design trends are frequently changing but some of these trends, particularly in regards to colour schemes, are more unusual than others. To help your website stand out from the others, there are some colour trends you can consider, including:

  • Peach
  • Orange
  • Gold
  • Princess Blue

Choosing peach colour schemes for web design

Peach shades can be very effective in web design, from bright bold shades that are vibrant and energetic, and can breathe life into any website, to lighter, paler tones for a hint of subtlety. Using this colour for the background colour can prove a little heavy, as the shade is incredibly deep. But when paired with a cream, or even a dark background colour, peach can be the perfect secondary or accent colour. It is a shade that naturally draws attention.

Choosing orange colour schemes for web design

If you are looking for a redesign that will grab the attention of any potential customers or clients, orange is a colour you should consider. This can be a bright and vibrant colour that packs your website with energy and positivity. Again, you can pair this with a light background colour, or a dark colour, to achieve dramatic contrast and pockets of visual interest.

Choosing gold colour schemes for web design

OK so Gold has been popular over the past months, so it’s not really a new colour to throw into the mix. But this colour is still impressive, and popular. Gold is symbolic with wealth, success and status. All of which are great attributes for any company to be associated with. That’s why this colour will remain popular. It can also be used in conjunction with the living coral, and  plain white or black background, to create a really dramatic effect.

Choosing “Princess Blue” for your website

Not just blue, princess blue is a specific shade somewhere between royal blue and bright blue. This colour is lively and fresh, again energising any website it is used on. This can be a great background colour for any website, with lighter or darker colours being used as accent and secondary colours.
