Walkway
so I'm doing a portfolio website, and currently the majority of my pages are made up of the following colours, white, d3d8d3 and 252525. It's so so monotone and bland and boring. The blog part has a spice of colour with decb91, 30462f and 98c1c0. Can you recommend me a better, more cohesive colour scheme. I'm very creative and I want my website to reflect that
