Artists, philosophers, scientists,<br \/>religious thinkers, and others from all walks of life have pondered this issue for centuries,<br \/>but no consensus has been reached. The nineteenth century German writer and thinker<br \/>Goethe spent a large portion of his life developing a theory of colors\u2014most of which has<\/p>\n<p>been consigned to the dustbin of philosophy by modern thinkers. Even setting aside<br \/>highly codified color\/concept schemas\u2014such as those used in Tibetan religious art or<br \/>the changing colors of the liturgical seasons in Western churches\u2014it is difficult to apply<br \/>specific meanings to specific colors. In the West, black is largely associated with death<br \/>and somber thoughts\u2014while in Japan, the color associated with death is white, a complete<br \/>reversal of the Western viewpoint. Considering that the <a href=\"https:\/\/onlineplanetapps.com\/custom-software-development\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/onlineplanetapps.com\/custom-software-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Web is an international medium<br \/>of communication<\/a>, it may not be practical to take culturally accepted color meanings for<br \/>granted. Bearing in mind the Western cultural background of this book\u2019s production,<br \/>Table 13-6 lists some common meanings people may associate with certain colors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"467\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.onlineplanetapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-295 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.onlineplanetapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image.png 467w, https:\/\/blog.onlineplanetapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image-300x281.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.onlineplanetapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-296\" width=\"321\" height=\"118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.onlineplanetapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image-1.png 470w, https:\/\/blog.onlineplanetapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image-1-300x110.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Even without the complications of cultural associations, Web conventions also<br \/>use color to convey meanings. The significance of hyperlink colors is brought up<br \/>throughout this book\u2014people are used to clicking on blue text to go somewhere else,<br \/>and they know that purple text means they\u2019ve already been there. Changing the color<br \/>of hyperlinks is always a questionable proposition, especially if the audience for the<br \/>site are not experienced users\u2014they may see light blue text and never think to click,<br \/>because they know that regular links are blue. However the messages may be subtler<br \/>and more difficult to pin down. Reflect on what you think when you see a Web page<br \/>with red text on a black background. How often does this make you think \u201cAmateur!\u201d<br \/>in terms of the site\u2019s designer? How do you respond to sites that do not have a white<br \/>background on text-heavy pages? Every Web user brings a host of unacknowledged<br \/>expectations about what colors, or combinations of colors, mean in the browser window<\/p>\n<p>Color is important to <a href=\"https:\/\/onlineplanetapps.com\/web-design\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/onlineplanetapps.com\/web-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Web designers<\/a>, as it makes pages both pleasing and meaningful to<br \/>visitors. Unfortunately, color use on the Web can be difficult. With the wide variability of<br \/>viewing environments, designers need to continue to rely on the 216-color browser-safe<br \/>palette. Hybrid colors and color depth detection can help us break the 216-color limit<br \/>safely, but even then things may not work. Without color correction technology that can<br \/>deal with differences in the user\u2019s viewing environment, color reproduction on the Web<br \/>is far from an exact science. This is a rather unfortunate situation. Color preciseness is<br \/>important if we want to make sure that the blue shirt users buy online is exactly the<br \/>shade of blue they thought it was. Just think of the cost of returns due to a serious color<br \/>shift! With the eventual introduction of color profiles in CSS (and PNG images, discussed<br \/>in the next chapter), things should improve. Yet even when color is displayed properly, it<br \/>is easy to misuse color by not using harmonious colors, providing too little contrast, or<br \/>not considering the meaning of color<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the Web, particularly when dealing with international visitors, it\u2019s easy to get messedup by a potentially tricky issue: the meaning of color.
