I wanted to choose colors that represented Seattle. In my opinion, these colors accurately do just that. The cool colors, complemented by one single warm Color give a sense of water-based imagery. This represents Seattle as they are right on water and is frequently known to be cold and wet.
The black color will serve as my main font color. White will be an accent font color for sections when the background is light. The blue and yellow will serve as misc. accent colors (i.e., links, backgrounds, borders, etc.).
