Maybe I'm a weirdo but I rather like his first example of "unless you want your site to look like this". The red is a bit much but it is an error message, after all. Overall it looks like the iconic Santa Fe Railroad "bluebonnet" color scheme:

It would certainly stand out on my desktop. Depending on the application, could be a plus. Probably not natural for a mail client or text-centric app, but you never know.
- xori 6y agoI agree, I thought the same thing when I hit that section. "What's wrong with that?"
- justusthane 6y agoI am not a designer, but I thought that that example is both awful and reflected my own experience with color scheme generators (“How do I make a design look good with these five colors?!”). The sidebar is okay I think, but the yellow for the pane pane would be incredibly overwhelming scaled up to a full page. Also the blue text on yellow does weird things to my eyes.
- Aeolun 6y agoProblem is that most generators just give you your two or three primaries. You’d need to turn those into the 50 to 900 range of shades that the author talks about.
- sundarurfriend 6y agoThe yellow background to the text is the only major problem for me. Otherwise, it seems like a perfectly cromulent UI.
