a fresh color palette

Exposed Elements

I came up with this color palette while redesigning my other website, www.exposedelements.com. For this project, I decided to try to come up with a fresh and modern color palette.

The inspiration behind this palette comes from many years of admiration for the hex color #FCAA01. If you don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, please continue reading.

I’ve been a fan of the oranges and yellows for years, but if I had to choose just one, it would definitely be #FCAA01.

Description

I started with #FCAA01 (the light orange), from there I moved to the other side of the color wheel and played with light tones.

Feel free to use this palette in your own works. Here are the details:

Ajaxload – AJAX loading gif generator

Web 2.0 stuff is starting to show up in more places. Today I stumbled upon ajaxload.info; A fine example of AJAX in action.

load imageAs the name implies, this site allows you to create your very own, custom .gif image that can be used in AJAX applications. Just for kicks, I created the image on the right using my 2 favorite hex colors; FFFFFF and FCAA01.

Next steps

This little discovery is making me realize that I need to get working on my very own interpretation of AJAX in action… so I’ll do some more digging around for now.
