I recently was hired to work on a website, however I am having a very hard time trying to come up with a color scheme because of the companys choice of brand color.
Their color is around
#f37321. It is not this specifically but anything in that general area works.I can not find any colors that look nice with it. I tried a lighter blue/silver but the orange is too harsh.
Does anyone know a way to make the orange seem less harsh or other colors that will look nice alongside it?
Answer
I use encycolorpedia for this. It recommends:
Inverted: #0c8cde
25% Saturated: #fe7015
Grayscale: #8a8a8a
25% Lighter: #f69c62
25% Darker: #c4530a
chocolate: #d2691e
25% Desaturated: #d8783b
It also supplies closely related colors used by popular sites, which might give you some additional ideas:
Home Depot #ee7125
Etsy #eb6d20
StackOverflow #ef8236
Amazon #e47911
