Each color selected fits into an autumn motif. Soft, warm colors invite the user into the content instead of distracting them.
Autumn colors tend to be more restful, and subtle.
They produce feelings that are warm, cozy, and inviting. These colors are associated with happiness and comfort. They have the ability to bring text and images to the foreground. They are pleasantly inviting and inherently harmonious. In addition, since many individual pages will be left up to the designs of web masters around campus, we did not want the templated design to distract from these unique pages.
