While I had initially been comfortable with the default Tweet Deck color scheme, as of recently I have become more inclined to have my own personal color swatch (similar to the color swatch on my Twitter account) on apps and websites.

I haven’t really had academic/formal training in color theory; however, I am aware that the theme of an application or a site has an effect on how visitors approach (and interact with) an application or a website. The color swatch on my twitter account (on the web) reflects my real personality and I had wanted TweetDeck’s appearance to be similar however TweetDeck v0.37.4 for windows seems to have issues with customising colors.

Despite not being able to replicate my Twitter account’s color swatch on TweetDeck due to a buggy and restricted color palette selection application, I was able to create a color combination/scheme on TweetDeck that reflects Twitter’s default page styling. With the newly discovered ability to style TweetDeck to appear similar to Twitter’s own website, I noticed that when Twitter’s website color scheme is applied to TweetDeck, it (the color scheme) also makes TweetDeck entertaining to view and use at the same time.

The below Image is of TweetScheme’s color combination/scheme (that restyles TweetDeck into an application that resembles Twitter’s own website:)

The Colors/Font codes (they can be applied via the settings option in TweetDeck) for the above are:

PBC: #6699CC

SBC: #6699FF

IABC: #FFCC66

PTC: #333333

STC: #333333

or as TweetDeck tweets out the color code:

BG1: 6699CC  BG2: 6699FF  INPUT: FFCC66  TXT1: 333333  TXT2: 333333

I have named the above Custom Color Scheme for TweetDeck as “TweetScheme” as the visual appearance may inspire a more forward and entertaining approach to TweetDeck and similar applications that may or may not be connected to the communication platform known as Twitter.

NB. I had viewed http://tweetdecktheme.blogspot.com/ for themes and some of the themes there (FriendFeed Blues) inspired the initial color scheme/theme which ended up as “TweetScheme” a color scheme/theme for TweetDeck inspired by Twitter’s website theme.
