Web design<\/a> trends and choices are always changing and evolving, often cycling back round in some form or another. One of these returning trends is the use of colour<\/a> gradients. But instead of thinking of the psychedelic colour clashes of the past, colour gradients<\/a>, or colours fading into one another, are now much more subtle. In fact, you might not have even noticed the comeback. But this subtle application of fading colours in web design is proving to be highly effective for companies and businesses across the board.

From\u00a0Wigan<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Southport<\/a>, we work with companies across Manchester and the surrounding region to deliver high quality web design<\/a> solutions that really get results.

Fading colours in web design<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Colours fading from one to another is not a new design trend. In fact, its not just an old idea, it is widely regarded as a bad one too. Colours clashing across your page might sound cool and interesting, but actually it can be overbearing and potentially overwhelming. However, applying this idea to shades of the same colour, to add subtle hints of colour, is a new and effective way to use this technique. The human eye is pre-programmed to notice slight variations in colour and shade, even between different shades of grey. And this slight difference is much more effective for peaking the interest of potential customers, than a glaring and obvious colour change. That’s why colour fading, from a deep colour, to a pale shade of the same colour is redefining what a colour gradient<\/a> means in terms of web design.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
