abbeyvet Posts: 5095 From: Kilkenny Ireland Status: offline	RE: Colour Combinations - 11/13/2002 6:22:25 I have just realised (realized?) that I, without thinking, used entirely US spelling in the above.

Eli Posts: 2659 From: ... er ... Status: offline	RE: Colour Combinations - 11/13/2002 6:37:21 Great links - thanks BTW Katherine, I' ve always wonder what the " proper" spelling is if you are in Ireland. Do you have US English or UK English or is there an Irish English? (in reply to abbeyvet)


abbeyvet Posts: 5095 From: Kilkenny Ireland Status: offline	RE: Colour Combinations - 11/13/2002 6:48:46 We spell in standard (ie UK) English. Of course speech is a little different, although relatively few people speak Irish as a first language a lot of the structures of Irish have passed over into every day English usage. The main one I would notice a lot is that in Irish there are no words for ' Yes' or ' No' , so although we do, of course, use yes and no we are also far more likely to reply to a question in the Irish way, by repeating the verb in the question. So if you ask me: " Have you much work to do today?" I will not answer Yes, I will say: " I have" If you then ask whether I should get on with it then, I will say " I should" There are loads of other differences. But I think you would understand us well enough _____________________________ Katherine :: InKK Design :: InKK Domains (in reply to Eli)

Now I must go check the lube under the bonnet of my lorry. It' s parked out at the kerb and I think it has a flat tyre.

It helps me with the font color problem http://www.1728.com/colrchr2.htm I think that with the sites Katherine and Andy suggested we may have the perfect tools! Thanks all! barry < Message edited by barry -- 11/13/2002 1:44:00 PM > (in reply to Eli)


Seventh Posts: 1235 Joined: 8/4/2002 From: The Motor City Status: offline	RE: Colour Combinations - 11/13/2002 17:31:07 There' s a good book by Lynda Weinman called " Coloring Web Graphics: The definitive Resource for Color on the Web" that may assist you as well. I have the 1996 version of the book though a more recent version is probably available. I also check out a lot of the artistic sites like the one Abbeyvet mentions above. _____________________________ "go forth and create." (in reply to barry)

My family and friends ridicule me because sometimes I spell words like colour and favour and grey. Don' t know where I got it but for a Kansas boy, they " jest don' t think it' s right."
