Back in the early days of the net, when you built your first sites... Did you...

Ever deliberately choose a pallet / colour scheme based on something in the real world (i.e. the colours of a can of Pepsi Cola) in order to foster a sense of familiarity and therefore trust, from the users of your site?

If so, what objects / items did you base you colour schemes on?

I usually (still do) choose colors based on getting high and googling what colors drive people to buy shit and why, then I'm like "ohhh snap"

Just the standard porn color palette for galleries . . . peachy, creamy, warm tones for solo babes; popping bright funky colors for reality sites; and dark tones for the fetish ones.

Well I mean in my example, it was never about making the site itself look like a can of Pepsi - nor as if I'd been somehow 'sponsored' by Pepsi...

It was always a very, very subtle, almost subliminal thing. I mean I had the exact colour shades, sure, but I also had the other 'influences' from the can as well, such as a swirl around the pics in the gallery's, and where I had graphic text, Id use a similar style of font etc... Similar angles and flows etc...

I mean, you wouldn't have looked at it and thought 'Pepsi Cola' but I'm sure if you drank Pepsi you'd have felt 'at home' there... Even if you couldn't work out why...

With hindsight, Id love to have A/B tested some of my early stuff, but back then there wasn't the time, or even a real need. Stuff was selling regardless, so rather than testing / tweaking a current site, in order to make another 20 / 30 %, I simply built another and made the same kinda money again... Then again, and again.... etc...

It was so easy in those days

I think I just used some of the colors sponsors used on their tours. I was lazy. Back then, It made no difference, it was almost free money.
