More and more people are using black gradient and light green as their design identity now-a-days, the latest adopter I’ve noticed since I came back from Canada yesterday was at my local Marks and Spencer. Indeed, this colour combination is a very sleek design but over the top usage is making it seem like just a cheap copy of the original (whoever that may be).

With that in mind, I’m going to use a different colour combination for the next generation layout for this site, my laptop is out for repairs however and so I can’t commence on working on the next generation design yet. I’m thinking of using a black background with orange/yellow and bits of white, that’s always been my favourite combination of colours starting from my very first website. Black is always much easier on the eye to focus on the content and ignore the background, after that you just need a combination of bright colours to show the content that really matters and orange is a very good highlighting colour imo. while white on black is the best contrasting colours.
