Forum Colours?

lakitu · 20 Jun 2012 at 20:18

I am in the process of creating a wrist watch forum but cannot decide on a colour scheme or theme. I love the OcUK blue theme, but cannot copy that

Can anyone suggest a colour scheme, skin/theme for vBulletin 4?

Black is the future

Well, I'm not sure about the theme, but either blue or a very pale green, which are pleasing to the eye. NEVER PUT RED ON BLUE OR BLUE ON RED!!!

Red and white.

I will have a custom header of course. I want the forum to be professional but feel fairly warm I guess as people will (hopefully) spend a lot of time there.

Neon green and orange contrast.

do something similar to google. black to me conjurs up htoughts of goths and hackers. blue is pc geeks, white is just and everyday web browsing experiance. It's familiar to everyone. Youtube, google, yahoo, gmail, wiki, etc etc. Nearly all mainstream websitres have a large white element to it.

The website is red and white. I don't know if I would like the look of a red and white forum.

All white, with red accents, (eg: the top banner, the search bar,

this but red instead of blue

You want a rich colour combination for a watch forum. Black, cream, beige, and yellow or golden.

Skillmister · 20 Jun 2012 at 22:03

Something dark. White or light grey forums are the worst.
