A few months ago I spoke at a conference about web design. I was invited to talk about the rules of web design, a request I completely ignored when I started my part by saying there are no such things as rules of web design. What I did instead was just to pass on some tips and tools I personally use when designing. You can’t teach web design in one hour, but I covered the basics of color, typography etc. When speaking about color I talked about color harmonies and the way color makes u feel. Here are some tools I recommended to find good color combinations.
Color Match 5k Color Match
6 color palette generaor
Well Styled Color Scheme Generator

Color Schemer Online
