I’m interested in colours. I’m also interested in Japan. These two things came together when I started to play around with Wordpress themes.
The basic idea: make a theme with traditional Japanese colours.
The complex bit: try to ensure the theme is easy on the eye.
I eventually settled on two colours. The background is called sakura-iro and uses the hex value #fef4f4. The title background and menu title background is called namari-iro and uses the hex value #7b7c7d. The black borders are plain black, hex code #000000. In case you are wondering, ‘iro’ means colour in Japanese.
Reactions to the theme have been interesting. Some people liked it, some people hated it. There didn’t seem to be much of a middle ground.
I’m a controversial guy.
