WordPress: Working With Color

5 Jun

WordPress is BY FAR my favorite thing that has come out of the blogging phenomenon. With it being part blog, part content management system, you can do pretty much anything with it.

There are a lot of beautiful themes out there. So what do you do when you like a theme, but want to change the colors? Even worse, what if you don’t know CSS or know how to create a color scheme with hex codes?

Theme Tweaker

If you’re not familiar with CSS, this little plugin might be your best friend. The only complaint I would have is that it doesn’t tell you where the color is coming from, but I suppose that’s something that you might just have to deal with. If, say, you’re looking at your current layout, and want all the areas that are pink to become a certain orange color, that’d be an easy fix.

ColorSchemer

This one is great for every website, not just WordPress. I love this color generator. You can input a hex color code, and it will draw up complimentary colors with their codes for your website. You can darken or lighten the color scheme as well. You can also choose a color from one of the pre-chosen boxes, and find a good color scheme from there.

What are some of your favorite color tricks?
