<--lovin the little Britain reference.

Whats your site based around...is green really that big a problem.?

i.e. if your client is selling dildos, then I'd be thinking pink...garden design then green prob is appropriate.

client seems pretty set on green so I want to at least have a green that I am comfortable with - at the end of the day he is the client.... in answer to the question "studio / flat rental" hmmm

Maybe it's because green's the color of cash! At least here in the States.

sites?

pgo · 17-04-2005, 05:26

What I meant was, that for a real estate person - renter/leaser/letter, whatever you want to call it - green might be an apporpriate color - since, at least in the US it's the color of money. Plus green is a nice color anyway.

Off-topicish
An old girlfriend asked me my favorite color, I said "Green." and she said "Geniuses pick green." And I said, "Naturally."
It worked on so many levels. True story.

pixelpyro - I realise this whole site isn't in green but hey the first bit with greys looks good. I think you could defo get professional results with lime greens greys and crisp studio photography...Im thinking white sofas clean lines etc.

I don't have a huge aversion to the colour green but its the connotations with "eco green" that I have trouble with.

Thanks for the links

pgo · 17-04-2005, 06:41

I don't think the color green, in and of itself, has any sort of reference to being eco-friendly. It only has that connotation in such a context, I would say.

On a real estate site, if it were green it wouldn't give me any eco-friendly vibes. It'd just be a green real estate site.

It's crazy how hard some site's are to find. I bet there are loads of sites like crossminds out there but you will never find them until someone points you in the right direction. i think someone from here gave me that url.
