Let the Color be Thy Guide...

The image that I think is my guide for the Web site that I want to create is a picture of the Brazilian flag. I got the initial idea after watching a Mixed Martial Arts competition in which a lot of the competitors were Brazilian. I was drawn to the colors and liked the weird mixture of colors. I am unable to identify the color palette used. However, my site is going to be one that offers information about a school to be built in the future. It will be an educational facility for children ages 2-whenever they would graduate from high school. I think that these colors are lively and the use of geometric shapes within the shape of the flag is appealing. To be honest, I just love the combination of the three colors and think that it drifts away from boring. I also like the shade of green as it is familiar to grass while the yellow is very pure. I think the shade of blue is just interesting. Hopefully this opinion won't change.

I think that it is so original and cool that your use the Brazilian flag as a guide for our color , original and cool. I never thought to look at a national flag as a guide. great idea and originality.

Oh wow, that's surprising. I thought you chose the Brazilian flag colors because you're Brazilian!

Your choice really does open up some interesting questions about *why* those colors appealed to you, especially as they are of a very non-traditional color scheme (i.e., they're very bold!)...
