If I'm honest the "restraint of colour" is really a lack of colour. It needs colour - I fall foul of this all the time as I don't mind grey-scale colour schemes

If I'm honest the "restraint of colour" is really a lack of colour. It needs colour - I fall foul of this all the time as I don't mind grey-scale colour schemes but it really needs at least 1, preferably two colours.

- loup-vaillant 16y agoI second that. I tried to put colours on my web site[1], and failed miserably. Any colour scheme I could come up with was ugly. I finally gave up and settled on the more manageable grey scale. [1]: http://www.loup-vaillant.fr http://www.loup-vaillant.fr
