Color has different effects on people and the choice of color has been shown to provide different psychological responses, these vary across cultures and other factors such as belief structures. To that end then what do people here think about the following.
Q: If you where selecting the color scheme for a GUI that was to be used in a professional setting what colors would you select as the most appropriate and why?
Q: What Color/s would be inappropriate to use in a GUI (Talk about what you'd consider unprofessional, but also weather certain colors would be not accepted for any cultural or other such reasons [GUI Internationalization]).
Q: What should the primary goal/s of color be in a GUI (E.G. Streamlining of Menu items making tools easier to find, Aid Concentration on Task etc)
Q: What should the secondary goal/s of color in a GUI be (If any)
Q: What Colors would lead you to feel cut off and/ likely to feel frustrated in a GUI?
That should be enough to get debate rolling and I am sure more will crop up, I have an interest in Human/ Computer Interaction and have been thinking about this stuff for a while and would be interested to here from the members here, the lesions form this topic could be integrated into TG2 and people here who program may wish to use them as well.
Regards to you.
