Yep there is such a thing as a psychology of colors. It mostly practiced in commercial establishments such as supermarkets and restaurants. For example, the reason why those popular fast food chains choose yellow, orange, and red for their color theme is because those colors make you hungry! Hmm, if this is the case, then why not employ the same science to your own Web site?

Here’s the color code which you can mix and match:

White: Easy on the eyes, perfection, peace, purity, sense of professionalism
Red: warmth, hunger, and excitement
Yellow: Happiness, vibrant
Green and blue: Calmness, content
Black, brown, grey: Serious, Somber

Sure all you have is a personal website, but let�s face it. The reason why you made one, is to make it public � so that other people can know about you (or a make believe you). If this is the case, then why not widen your readership? A little marketing can sure help.

One of the simplest things you can do is to write articles. If you�re a prolific blogger with a lot things to say about any topic under the sun, then this should be easy for you. Submit your articles to article archives and directories and link them to your site. By doing this you can make your site widely known (not to mention huge traffic on your site).
