At least, that's how I think about colors--crisp colors have definition, and contrast nicely with the colors around them, while muddied colors have little definition or contrast (the original peach color is a perfect example of what I would call a muddied color). Hopefully that makes a little sense. [Edit: Saturation also comes into play here--crisp colors tend to be more saturated than muddied colors.] As for general color links, ZOX's info (linked by quisja above) is very nice. Looking through my color bookmarks, I also found these: [url=http://www.colormatters.com/entercolormatters.html]http://www.colormatters.com/entercolormatters.html[/url] [url=http://builder.cnet.com/webbuilding/0-3883-8-6309338-1.html]http://builder.cnet.com/webbuilding/0-3883-8-6309338-1.html[/url] As for books, "Interaction of color" by Josef Albers is a classic, and I found it an interesting read. You might find it useful in understanding how colors interact, and thus how to use color effectively in design. [This message has been edited by Suho1004 (edited 06-14-2003).] Loading...
