This week’s photo is of Tregeseal Stone Circle. It was a beautful sunny day in June when we walked over there.
Here are the accessible combinations:
| 1. #2f445a and #f6f6f6 | Example 1.1 | Example 1.2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2. #2f445a and #f2ecb8 | Example 2.1 | Example 2.2 |
| 3. #414520 and #f6f6f6 | Example 3.1 | Example 3.2 |
| 4. #414520 and #f2ecb8 | Example 4.1 | Example 4.2 |

This week’s inspiration comes from a photo of a courgette plant. This was a plant we grew in our porch last year and I must say it did much better than this year’s effort.
Again, I droppered some colours from the photo and tweaked them to get some good contrast for accessibility:
| 1. #505016 and #e6c770 | Example 1.1 | Example 1.2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2. #505016 and #d4d19e | Example 2.1 | Example 2.2 |
| 3. #505016 and #ffffff | Example 3.1 | Example 3.2 |
| 4. #3e4e05 and #e6c770 | Example 4.1 | Example 4.2 |
| 5. #3e4e05 and #d4d19e | Example 5.1 | Example 5.2 |
| 6. #3e4e05 and #ffffff | Example 6.1 | Example 6.2 |

I was shocked to find that it’s been over a year since I’ve added to this site. How rubbish of me. Definitely time for another colour scheme!
These colours were inspired by a photo that we took whilst on a walk by the sea near where we live. It’s some exposed granite on the cliffs at Cot Valley.
I droppered some colours from the photo and then tweaked them to get some good contrast for accessibility:
| 1. #48484a and #c6cece | Example 1.1 | Example 1.2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2. #48484a and #ffffff | Example 2.1 | Example 2.2 |
| 3. #263f2c and #a0af7f | Example 3.1 | Example 3.2 |
| 4. #263f2c and #ffffff | Example 4.1 | Example 4.2 |

The first colour scheme for this website was thought to be a bit lacking in colour, so we are trying out version two. This scheme uses complementary greens and blues to bring more colour to the page. Accessible pairings of colours are as follows:
| 1. #295e51 and #ffffff | Example 1.1 | Example 1.2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2. #204e77 and #ffffff | Example 2.1 | Example 2.2 |
| 3. #295e51 and #f1f4f4 | Example 3.1 | Example 3.2 |
| 4. #204e77 and #f1f4f4 | Example 4.1 | Example 4.2 |

This colour scheme consists of strong greens, a light green for highlighting and a strong red for accent colour. The strong colours can’t be used together to convey information as the contrast is very poor, however combinations of the darkest greens or red on white offers an excellent level of contrast. Accessible pairings of colours are as follows:
| 1. #5d1f22 and #ffffff | Example 1.1 | Example 1.2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2. #2a3f1c and #ffffff | Example 2.1 | Example 2.2 |
| 3. #4c663a and #ffffff | Example 3.1 | Example 3.2 |
| 4. #5d1f22 and #edf0eb | Example 4.1 | Example 4.2 |
| 5. #2a3f1c and #edf0eb | Example 5.1 | Example 5.2 |
