When making my portfolio, people cautioned me against using green because it’s really easy to pick gross colors in the green color palette. I went with green anyway, mostly because everyon else’s portfolio used a different color.

Well, I was hunting around on the web today, and I found a website that used green in, as Sandi would put it, a pukey way. Guaranty Bank uses green exclusively for their color palette… but there are different greens, and there’s lots of green. I guess the lesson here would be, if you use a “pukey” color in your design, to use it sparingly. Or avoid it all together, I suppose… but that would certainly be more boring.
