I’m not into colour.
Here’s a tip, from someone who is still learning.
If you don’t like something about yourself, nobody else will. That’s just the way it goes.
For example, I used to hate the fact that I have to have everything white and nice and symmetrical and neat. Look at my blog for example.
For months I tormented over choosing a colour theme, but I just couldn’t bring myself to decide on one colour. I couldn’t have blue, because it means I’m not red. I needed a single, all-encompassing colour that doesn’t promote any sort of colour bias.
So it was a toss up between black, white and grey. I ruled grey out because it was kind of a compromise between black and white, and I’m not a black kinda guy, so we have white. No fancy pictures or buttons, just simple and clean.
And my picture on the front page – I couldn’t just decide on ONE picture, so I made it randomly display one of 65 every time you reload the page.
And I HATED this about myself! What was wrong with me that I had to be like this? I noticed that people started not liking my new site design, too.
But recently, I’ve realised that if you can just learn to EMBRACE your weird and wonderful character traits, others will too.
Neat, tidy, simple, clean? Yep! That’s me, that’s Luke. Ask anyone – I’m not a colour kinda guy… (NOW READ MY BLOG!)
