These are web-safe colors (not the actual colors in the image) from this image and am quite taken with them at the moment.

 

To me, any two or three of these colors work well together. For instance, using the teal and pale yellow-green (what shall we call it? Apple?) for a Taste of Chinatown would be great. Use the yellow and red for a Cinco de Mayo event. Use the black and apple for a business brochure.

Only these colors

Yellow hex ffcc33   rgb 255,204,51

red hex cc0033    rgb 204,0,51

teal hex 006666     rgb 0,102,102

apple hex cccc66     rgb 204,204,102

black hex 000000    

background hex f1f4ed

Design Notes

Headings can be the green piece or the two-tone border. The red badge is always a link to somewhere.

​

Font Notes

Don't use Lord Juusai Rises for anything. That's the logo font, but some of the letters have been nodified for readability.

​

I'd say Arial and Arial Black quite a bit. Use Georgia as needed. Let the colors and shapes add the design interest.

Text Notes

Write up text prior to adding to website.
