Would love some honest feedback on this colour scheme - not just the colours used but how they've been used throughout. Any suggestions on how this could be improved would be fab

 

I think the colour scheme is OK, it's just the way in which it has been applied could be improved. The orange side box "cookery courses" stands out the most on the whole page. I think your logo at the top could be made a little bigger as can the top and bottom margins around the navigation. Because the oranges are the most vibrant colours, these parts really stand out more. Either doll these oranges down some, or make the other colours more vibrant to combat it.

 

Just an opinion!

Thanks Smuj Really appreciate your feedback, do these shades look any better? Also added extra 10px above and below the menu

No worries at all. Yes, I think it is an improvement, however I still think the logo and navigation could be made to stand out more as it kind of looks like it's molding into the background still. Maybe use the pale yellow used on the saucepan image on the right hand side as the background colour to sit behind the navigation and logo..?

Okey dokey, I've taken on board what you have suggested. This is actually the homepage but it's more complete than the subpage so I thought this may give a better picture. Am I getting there? Really appreciate your feedback, I've spent so long on this I can't see the wood for the trees

 

Spot on! You've got the gist of it.. up to you to weave your magic now. Much better!

Thanks
