Any designers? Wondering about a colour scheme for Datatables

I've tinkered and tinkered but since I'm not a designer, my attempts have been pretty poor.

https://datatables.net/

I've been using this template and have stuck with the same blue #2fa4e7 / bootstrap general layout: http://usman.it/themes/charisma/form.html

Anyone up for doing a JSfiddle or dropping a link to a decent attempt at prettifying these tables?

    We have 3 programmers in our company if you need any programming/design service. :)

    Cheers

    So you are basically not satisfied with your color scheme?
    Whenever I got this problem, I use https://coolors.co/ for a few ideas. You can also play around and create an own color scheme, with the help of the application. :)

    Pretty much, it's a bit bland. I studied a bit colour theory back in the day but have to fiddle around too much... I know others have a better eye for these things. Will take a gander at the link though. Thanks.

    It's probably best to keep it a bit bland, using bright colors in tables will be hard on the eyes. Try to focus more on using the right amount of spacing/padding.

    For color scheme use adobe kuler: https://color.adobe.com/explore/most-popular/?time=all

  • Indeed, the colours wouldn't be bright.

    It's shades of grey at the moment which looks a bit boring, but the less experienced eye like myself can't easily pick the best scheme.

    I assume you meant graphic designers, as that's what I'm asking for? I can code fine, can't design.

    I may have some occasional work, and was wondering if you could PM me a link to some work you've already done.

    Thanks
