Hey kethmars,

Thank you so much for taking time to review my portfolio. I agree with a lot of the criticisms and will be working to make those changes now. The one question I had was how do I approach the colors that you disagreed with. Should I go for brighter colors generally and adjust the hues on the site or should I scrap those colors all together and try some other colors entirely.
Thank you again for your time and consideration

Best,
James

Hey James!

Thank you!

Regarding the colors - I like what you've done in the upper part of the design.
#a13333, #f5ebd8 - these colors could be used.

The aforementioned colors can also be used to generate the content below. Eg in the projects section do not use different background colors but make one card that can be reused.

Making tons of different colors play well together takes experience and is hard to achieve imo. A good trick is to choose 2-3 main colors, one of which is dominant. I suggest just play around with a few colors you already have on the page.

I hope it was helpful.

Sincerely,
Kethmar
