HeadSpace House (Proper Intro)!!!
Hello.. Internet!
I made a simple little website with google sites that i had already posted on here... But i was in a rush making said post-
Sooooo... I wanted to give it a proper introduction!! =D
Here's the link now if you don't wanna read the rest lol:
HeadSpace house is a little "Show" (The eps are read, but i'm calling it a show for some reason?? Yeah, no, I can't really explain this one-) that I've created! I started it at school (Oh, yes, the wonderful school computers that need me to filter out "Bad" words with "@" and "!"s and such-) And then turned it into a whole little project!! =D I had been working on how to get a working website every day in study hall for like a week and then finally did it!!
Exp that it was on my school acc and there was no way to move it to my personal acc.. (Yes, I did straight-up remake the whole thing. It took a few hours.) But I got it done anyways and was able to post it! =D
Now, HeadSpace House is (If you say it before or guessed from the title) About plurality! It's actually about the inside of a girl's head and her headspace and her "Alters" (Typically referred to as the voices-) and their life! = )
It's 100% based off of real life. My life. And I personally LOVE it (I'm biased towards my own work. Who woulda guessed-) I just really hope that you (And all of Tumblr) Likes this little thing I've created, all based on actual things that happened, Or the actual event that happened, no editing.. I really hope that you enjoy it!!!!!!!!! = )
Btw: For updates on this website go follow: @headspacehouseofficial (My other acc!!)
Brand new website!

Background decorative elements
I felt like the placement of your background images within the body tag to the top and bottom of your main content div is pretty intuitive overall. The only thing I could think of to improve the vines would be to make them pseudo elements (another YouTube video by Kevin Powell) of the body element so that way you don't have to have empty divs cluttering your html for them. Pseudo elements are useful for purely decorative elements because they're created purely out of CSS; no HTML required!
Now for color: below the fold bc hyperfixation go brrr
TLDR: Color contrast is hard; especially with the current color systems we have today (HSB/RGB) since the numeric incantations of popular color systems don't line up with how our eyes actually perceive color, especially when it comes to brightness. Google made a new color system (along with a tool based on that color system to generate color palettes) that lines up better with how humans perceive color but it still isn’t perfect. IMO using tools like palettte.app (with 3 t’s) and hand-selecting colors numbered by how light they are - more about that below - works best and gives projects more of a hand-made feel but Google's tool works well enough for making a quick and professional looking color palette.
Now for a very colorful rant:
Making CSS variables with the format
colorName-brightnessValue
makes it easier to meet contrast standards when coding up a website. I'll usually organize my colors to range from 0 to 1000 exclusive where 0 is black and 1000 is white. I usually use 100, 300, 500, 700, and 900 the most so I have those 5 shades of each main color ready to go whenever I start a new project. (I use the same 4 colors for all my projects so it's easy to copy and paste the colors from the last project into the new one!)
That way if I know my background is violet-100 and my text color is violet-700 that the text will be legible because of the difference in brightness values is 600 just based on the variable names alone. Generally a difference of at least 500 (assuming you go linearly in perceived brightness) is enough to get AAA contrast levels.
For an example, here are my css variables for zephiris.me:
Others do the numbering of the shades differently. Here's how tailwind does it:
Tailwind CSS color guide's section on making a custom color palette has links to some helpful tools on how to hand-pick several shades of a set of colors so that the brightnesses of the colors decrease with the numeric value in a way that actually lines up with people's perception of color.
On that same page, tailwind also has all those color palettes shown above free for you to steal use in your projects!
Google's Material 3 design framework has shades of every color go from 0 to 100 for brightness instead of my 0-1000 brightness or Tailwind's 0-1000 darkness.
Google also has a nice resource which will automatically generate a color palette for you (I like doing it manually with palettte.app [with 3 t's] but if you just need a quick and easy palette that meets contrast standards, Google’s resource works pretty well).
Google actually has a very interesting blog post on why it’s so hard to make accessible colors and get the right amount of contrast with current color systems like HSB/RGB etc.. To fix this, they created a new color system, HCT (Hue Chroma Tone), which helps solve that problem by having HCT's Tone value better match our human perception of brightness.
Wrangling Several Colors to Work Together
My main advice for overall UI design is to pick three colors: a primary color (for background colors), a secondary color (for card backgrounds/text colors), and a tertiary color (for any elements that should be interacted with like buttons and links). I made a site to try out various combinations of colors and share those palettes with others a while ago (apparently November of 2021, thanks GitHub!)
Recently Juxtopposed made a more professional version of what I made called realtimecolors.com along with an accompanying video. Her website also features a palette generator where you just enter in one color and it will generate a set of palettes off that one color!
Unfortunately neither mine nor Juxtopposed's websites support multiple shades of each key color, so to get those additional shades make sure to either use Google's generator or one of the tools mentioned by Tailwind once you have a general set of colors that you feel works well together.
Color Palette Inspiration
What works best for me is to pick colors based on environments which I enjoy to be surrounded by. I based my color palette for zephiris.me on:
the night sky's bluish-purple hue (maybe I wear rose-tinted glasses ok?)
greenish-blue seafoam from ocean waves
golden rays of sun filtering through pine trees
Lastly, I used the trans flag colors to describe my gender for obvious symbolic reasons - I also like being next to a particular shark :p
Conclusion
Meeting color contrast standards can get way easier by numbering your colors based on how light they are. There are plenty of ways to get a set of colors labeled by lightness:
using palettes already made from Tailwind
Have Google do some math wizardry to generate you a custom palette
Use tools like palettte.app to create your own set of colors to play with
Regardless of what option you choose, the overall added structure of numbering colors' brightnesses makes it dramatically easier to make incredibly legible, accessible, and colorful designs.
Colorful rant over!
i like your website! it looks very nice
especially the gradient colored text!! you used a separate font to make it more legible
whenever i try to do something like that, it always becomes really hard to read... maybe i should learn some basic web design?
my website looks like this and it took two days of fiddling with css
Thank you! The biggest thing with making text legible is making sure there is enough contrast between the text color and the background or make the text big enough that it’s legible even if there isn’t that much contrast. The best guide on color contrast that I know of is the Mozilla docs! If you scroll down to the solution part there it has many tools to check text contrast.
Since your website has a warm bright canvas background darker colors and gradients would work better and end up being more legible.
If you’re looking to learn more about web development and especially CSS I strongly recommend Kevin Powell on YouTube! His videos on flexbox and grid are very helpful in understanding those new browser features and making responsive websites (websites that look great on any screen size). For example, I used grid for the nickname table and for my projects so that on desktop those elements would be wider and shorter while on mobile they’d get narrower and taller.
I love your site too, especially the canvas theme with the green branch/orange leaves and the clever span box to show your favorite color complete with a title tag featuring the hex code!
To be clear my site took me at least 20 hours of fiddling and development to make. Feel free to look at the site code (and my commit history) on GitHub!
It also lists our what I’m currently working on and what I’ve worked on in the past!
