Killerzzz's Chaos colour schemes

[killerzzz]

Ok, thought I'd do a few quick ones myself. Not very cleanly done, but I think the idea gets across. ;D
In the top-right corner I put what it looks like close up. The second one is hard to see otherwise.

First off: The Grass Is Greener

Keeping the teal, and partnering it with some soft green. This is my favorite of the ones I made, sooooooo... maybe the green could be softer tho...

Second: I Got The Blues

I decided to go crazy with this one and change the text and hyperlinks a bit too. Even all the black in general (cuz I was too lazy to just do some).

Third: Purple Haze

Because Gal said she wanted purple and didn't do one. So I did! ;D
Text is dirty in this one, but I really didn't try to clean it much.

Hmm. Well, that was fun.

[Flix]

Oh wow, and I was complaining about Gal's purple one.

Number two looks great.

[peterh]

Number two is too light, imo - maybe make it a bit darker?

And the last one is, well, very purple..

[Hildor]

I like number two the most. Just maybe a little bit darker there.

[The Sonar Chicken]

I really like Number 2!

[Alrik]

I also like number 2.

@ Killerzzz
Number three WOW! I bet I'm the only one who loves it, but thx for trying though. I know I didn't do it, for the obvious reasons ;D (I didn't wanna hurt my friends eyes )

Number 2 is nice indeed, the blue is lighter then what I did, so yeah, I like this one.
Number 1 isn't too bad either, but the flashy green is just a bit too much I'm afraid. The teal looks great though, looks kinda familiar ;D.

[killerzzz]

Ok, I read your suggestions and I tried to do them. ;D

Yeah, I thought it deserved a look. Plus, I don't mind hurting peoples' eyes.

Hmm, well, I tried, but I think I like it better lighter. Lets see the first page.
I Got The Blues (DARKER): Home Page

I had to change the text and hyperlinks back, otherwise it didn't look too good. The purplish text and light-blue hyperlinks blended too much with the darker blues, and it hurt the eyes.
The General and Humanology are with the altered text, and the Celebrity and Fashion are the restored normal text. Examples of both in top right corner.


I Got The Blues (COMPARED - NORMAL TEXT): Threads

Ok, things got messy, but I wasn't gonna post a million pictures.
Left half is my first Blues version. Right half is the darker version.
The text is normalish, but I had trouble restoring it properly, and I'm too lazy to redo it all.
"Magnifying Glass" zooms of the format are IN the text this time.


I Got The Blues (COMPARED - ALTERED TEXT): Threads

Or at least I TRIED to alter the text. However, it wasn't pure black and pure blue, so I couldn't do it properly and it got ugly.
This is the result.
This time Dark Blue is on the left, and original Blues is on the right.


Over all for the blues, I prefer the orginal I posted, but if we were to go with the darker blue, I'd say leave the text black.

Whats that, Gal? More flashy green did you say? ;D

The Grass Is Greener (GREEN!!!): Home Page

So, yeah, decided I should make the background green too for fun. BUT check out the next one.


The Grass Is Greener (MANY ALTERATIONS): Threads

Yeah, "many alterations" sums it up. I tried softening the darker green, and striped it in the thread. Then, I made bits of the background green to see how it looks with the different colours.


Now, if you are not blind from all those crazy visuals, have a nice day. ;D

I like your blue (#2) too, Killerzzz.

[Galadriel]

Appearently we stay in the blue zone, dunno if you guys know this, but blue makes agressive ;D Don't come complaining to me when you guys start fighting! ;D

@ Killerzzz
I like what you did on the blue ones and the green ones even, just to see the difference. I tried to color the background but I only got paint to work with. The magnifying glass idea looks pretty cool. I also prefer the original blue you did.

[Glance A'Lot]

In my view No 2 has the most potential for further refinement.

{...and the 'parchment' background of the lounge is the best for a writing board anyway - but then, I'm biased... }

Wha? To me, blue is all serene and calm and stuff. ;D
Besides, when we did that "what colour are you" test, I got blue, and I'm a pretty mild-mannered guy.

SO DON'T JUDGE ME, OKAY MAN!?!

Thanks. ;D
Yeah, paint works wonders, but I thought I'd play around with all that Photoshop witchery to see if I could mess with the background. I accidently found the colour changer while trying to do something else.

[rhiian]

[janggut]

I Got The Blues is good, especially the one with darker shade. makes night reading so much easier.
