Notes plus colour tables for web page design

©  Charles Warner   20 Jan 2013 edition

This page is suitable for someone other than me to improve.... Sometimes programmes like Photoshop provide quick routes to solutions, but a lack of provision of index means that there is potential for research/writing here and elsewhere on these contents. According to specifications I have used here, chosen largely by just copying others, the default colour of hypertext references delivered by browsers is blue, becoming light purple if the browser remembers a click from history.

Potential use of the (back) button at top left of your browser, instead of my own html such as I discuss here, should be remembered while perusing these minor pages.

One can open a file like index.html with a double left click >>; it appears in Notepad where it can be edited. Separately it can be opened with right-click > Open With > Internet Explorer. Opened in Explorer, after a right click one may > View Source which shows index.html as in Notepad, but in colour. This scheme is quick for editing several files simultaneously. In Source one is provided with line numbers, handy for debugging.

    Within the Notepad version of index.html one may pick out designer colours thus:-
The BODY text colour is #445577 which is a soft black.

(Compare this to a similar view taken a day later). #003366 is a very dark blue or black.

#6699FF is a delightful light shade of blue.

Within bay.html may be found:

#FF6633 is orange. (Compare the photo taken at 1026 on 5 July .)

Note in the HyperText Markup Language which delivers the following paragraph how the name attribute is used to flag a destination; place it carefully a little upstream of the centre of interest.

For all three or more meteorological pages, "Back to main page" is achieved thus:

#11B31A is light green.

I seek to buy a car of exactly what shade of green? Please note that a car should be visible in dark and inclement weather,
and LOOK CHEERY but dignified (this #33B31A) or...

LOOK CHEERY but dignified (this #55B31A) or...

LOOK CHEERY but dignified (this #11B33C) or...

LOOK CHEERY but dignified (this #11B35E) or...

#55B31A maybe; but #11B31A seems not bad.

Let's explore the arrangements systematically:
