Colors That Will Cause Your Visitors To Hate You

Didn't realise that there are colors that will make people visiting your webby HATE you. Yeah, hate as in want to shove painful things up your body where-the-sun-never-shines. OK, I'm exaggerating. But I am not making this up. This interesting website explains what colors to avoid in designing your webby, unless of course if you are designing roadside caution sign on the internet.

In the back of your eye there is a thin layer of tissue that contains millions of tiny light-sensing nerve cells called rods and cones. Cones respond to specific wavelengths of light. Your eye is filled with color decoding cones. When you looked at the red box the cones that detect the red wavelength become tired and fatigued. When this happens the opposite cones in your eye start to kick in. Hence the bluish green color you saw. Now that you know there is a scientific reason behind eye fatigue you should apply it to your web site...

...You should use yellow and red colors sparingly in your web site itself. Only use them in areas where you want the visitor to focus on. Do not make large parts of your web site with bright color. It might get your visitors attention but they will either consciously or subconsciously notice their eyes getting fatigued. This will make them not want to look at your web site for long periods of time. There are enough reasons why a visitor would leave your web site. You don't need to add to that list by using irritating color.

Truth be told, I can't even stand ANY color on the monitor screen...will get dizzy, nauseated ,horny and pukey just after 10 minutes....
