Yes, in a world that is obsessed with makeover madness, even your website needs to follow specific color guidelines when picking out "what it will wear". The colors you use when designing your website tell an awful lot about your business, though you may not know it.
I had this problem myself. I loved my website, it was so cool looking. I had a red, black and white color scheme, and it matched all of the material I sent to meeting planners. They were my colors and I fought changing them.
That is, until I paid $640.00 an hour for Corey Rudl, arguably the most successful small business marketer on the Internet, to critique me. That may sound like an absurd amount of money to pay for a consultation, but Corey is the best, and he definitely came through. Corey told me point blank, my website says "I am trying to sell you something".
That is not the look I was going for. I wanted my customers to be at ease on my site.
Corey taught me that colors that make people feel comfortable are those that they are used to seeing. So, I toned down my harsh (but still cool) colors and replaced them with gray and blue. I did this because some people are still new to the computer and the Internet. They are tentative with new sites and many haven?t a clue what they are doing.
However, many of those same people are very comfortable navigating Microsoft programs, which are gray and blue.
My hopes were that the similar colors of my site would put newcomers at ease, giving them the same sense of simplicity and control they have when using Microsoft programs.

Are Tibetan Rugs Popular?
Are Tibetan Rugs Popular?
by: John Murray
We've all heard about Tibetan rugs, but are Tibetan rugs popular in our North American culture? The popularity of Tibetan rugs waxes and wanes from month to month. One minute there is interest in the North American market, the next there is none.
Tibetan rugs are a tribal tradition and their designs are pictorial and generally focus on the Buddhist element. There rugs will also include geometric patterns. Collectors can't seem to decide if these unique rugs are worth their investment dollars or not.
Older Tibetan rugs in good condition are hard to find. Most never left Tibet and thus the only ones available in the North American market are the more current rugs. Few rug dealers provide an opportunity to purchase beautiful old Tibetan rugs. More often than not the rugs that have found their way to the western world are the checkerboard rugs which are a variety of the tsuktruk weavings. They are...

Color Cues to help you Find Mr. Right
Color Cues to help you Find Mr. Right
by: Alan Stafford
Color preferences say a lot about a person's personality and - perhaps more importantly to some of us - about a person's love style. Bright color preferences reflect outgoing characteristics, while darker colors reflect more subdued and calm qualities. Secondary colors, including purple, orange and green reveal a person's desires, goals and needs in a relationship. Color experts, such as light scientist Jacob Liberman O.D., PhD, and color therapy expert Louanna Wilson of SciArt Company, agree that these colors also tell us something about how different types of personalities attract men and women.
To figure out your color type, start by choosing your favorite color of these three. Even if you don't like any of these, pick the one you like best for the sake of this analysis. Pick the color, green, purple or orange, that most appeals to you. Do not choose the color you prefer for clothing...
