Question

Websites not only give us information, but they also inspire designers in their layouts, illustrations, images, typefaces, and colors. Websites are dynamic and fluid, changing with each size device we view them on. Almost every design starts with some research, and one of the best places to do research is on the internet. As a designer you will spend time looking at websites and analyzing what works and what does not work. One thing that you will look at is color. It will most likely be a huge source of inspiration, but before you use color in your designs, you need to be able to correctly identify and describe it. For this discussion, find a website that uses colors that inspire you. Post the link of the site you are using for this exercise and then provide the answers to the following questions: What hues, shades, or tints can you identify? What color model is being used in the website? What color scheme is being used? Are the colors warm or cool? What emotions do the colors make you feel?
