Screendesign: Colour

Arnheims general thoughts about colour and a design education strongly influenced by grey paperboard made me very careful when it comes to colour.

Especially when displayed on (uncalibrated) monitors or under varying light conditions, achieving a proper colour impression is an art by itself.

The Gnome HCI Styleguide on Colour suggests using a palette of 32 (predefined) colours and not to rely on them.

Ideal would be to make the whole colour scheme skinable via something like a simplified CSS.

Styleguides – iPhone & Gnome

Hunting for design guidelines, I found the Gnome styleguide to be rather detailed whereas the iPhone HCI styleguide(1) remains quite general.

I was looking for advice how to use colours (I’ll blog about this soon) – and some (official) thoughts about when to use premade widgets and when to use custom ones.

(1) Due to Apple’s rather esoteric communication policy, you need to register to see the webpage. Call me a coward, but I won’t mirror the pdf.
