Hello,

The following link is to a file with different pages, on each page a different color combination.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw08ZusB6vZrSE9IM0JZSWN0Yms/edit?usp=sharing

I was wondering if you could give your opinion on which color combination you like the most.
If you are willing to help me out, on each page there is a number. If you could post the number.
I will look into the colorcombination with the most votes.

Thanks for your help!
And cheers,
Darryl

I like 10 the best, it's eye catching without being too obvious.

Some of them really mess with my eyes, if I had to veto one of them, it'd be 16 - Maybe the logo part is too close to the colour on the left.

I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more memes.

15,18,19 are good with colors and contrast, looks good from very far.

9 have problems with low contrast.

Others are just very bad with color matching. Some of them looks like colorful blobs from far, and some even from near.

Here all moments that looks bad:

Either 5 or 8, the brighter colored ones appear too "bright"

@Cheese Cake
I love such colortables, and the drawing itself is very stylish.

He looks like the kind of chap that would wear tweed, how about using tweedy colours?

Last picture is okay, but too dark; and maybe you should play with bottom blocks' positions.

For logo I'd recommend 9 with adjusted contrast and brightness. "Vintage" colours here are better than "hippy". Anyway that is awesome logo, for sure.
