Blue is common. The green seems alittle different.

Just my opinion but what if they do? Green is still going to be different and stand out.

I just started my own post about colors and people who are colored blind. If I remember correctly, the second one was green, I'd not use that one. I remember my late brother-in-law hated that color because he was color blind. So my choice would be the first one, blue..

Well like I said, I also started a post on colorblindness because of my project. There are a lot of suggestions you may want to check out in that post about what colors are good, because even mixing certain colors cause problems for some people.

From a personal choice I prefer the green colour scheme and prefer the log in details being in the header section as they are clear to see, where as they could get lost if kept on the right hand side as per the blue design. I also like the fact the green design is less crowded, how that will work with more content is yet to be seen as it could end up feeling like the content isn't anchored properly, floating around instead. But then the best sites keep things simple and uncluttered.

If you look into the psychology of colours both blue and green are mean too have calming influences but blue is meant to create strength as well, which is one of the reasons why it's popular, it gives the impression of being calm but solid. It also works well as a contrasting colour with a white font where as with green it can blend a little too much causing reading issues.

If I was just only going on scientific advice then yes I would say blue. But then taking into account the need to stand out from the crowd it leads me to choose green because too many websites use a blue style.

I like the design for the green one but personally thinks that they need to pick a different picture and perhaps touch up on some the details for the green color scheme.
Agree too blue it too common, facebook, twitter and mylot all uses blue. I wonder have they done any research to decide on the scheme or did they all just decided they like blue?

...Hi, You may have chosen already. But first of all good luck with the site, it looks like a winner. Interesting concept. I do abstract painting and I am into colors. If the water scene is to be your continuous picture on the site then the blue background is soft and subtle, but the green makes your water scene come alive more than the blue. It becomes more vivid while the blue tends to make the scene blend in. So it depends on what you what the focus to be. The green background makes you really want to look at the water scene. The blue makes you look at the water scene and move on quicker to other items on the page. Take care and again good luck.

Well I have not decided, artistry.
however coming from someone who knows a like about art, so the weightage of opinion about the design. I would like to appeal to the masses, I do not have the millions that the big companies have so I just have to appeal to as many people here as possible.

Design one gets my vote because i like the shade and color of it.. haha =D It gives me a relaxed feel, as if i'm on a beach looking at the blue sky and blue ocean in front of me. haha =D Since your blog is about travels, that color theme is the right one for u.. haha =D Design two is ok, but the color green is too bright for background

Well kun it took you long enough to come to vote for it, however your vote was still considered before making the decision. Of course my partner and me got a little more than half the votes, and the rest is after taking all your comments into consideration.

I think I get want you mean, I think the design of the green and the blue scheme. would you like it better?
Well setting up a site is free, however I decide I want to do something more about it to become more profession, I got a domain and a host. as well as someone to help design the site.
However if you want a simple site it is really not too difficult to do. I have tried to create a few myself. not bad looking but not what I really wanted. So I decide to ask someone to help me.
We can talk if you need help or advice.

Well, both of them look pretty nice to me. However, if I had to choose between the two of them, I really think that the one that is better of the two is the one with the blue background. The reason that I like that one better than the other is because the blue feels a lot more serene than the green background. Best of luck to you with getting your website online and let us know when you have it going so we can visit it.

i prefer the blue than the green one.the interface for the blue is much more friendly than the second design.the website is about traveling right?the green color seems isn't right for traveling concept than the blue.perhaps you can put a banner/picture beside the name of the site.the log in ID should be at the side rather than at the top of site.
P/S-do inform us when you done with the whole site.

it just a comparison between the blue and the green sites.anyway, i like everything about the blue site.i like the way the log in by the side in blue rather than at the top in green.most of the sites we have seen now using the blue color because it suits with every concepts.

I think the second design is better mainly because most of the sites I've visited have a blue scheme. So to make your website different I think the green one is better. I also like how it's color is pleasing and relaxing to the eye.

I think I'll go with the blue background with the layout of the green.. I like the layout of the green because you have more room for your blogs, pictures and other stuff than the one with blue... Well that is just me.. good luck with your website!

I like the blue design better. Think it looks nicer and more professional.
As for the login section: Being a web designer myself, I always prefer to put it at the top of the page so that it leaves more space for the menu items and the website content.
Great work on the layouts though, they are both really good.
