ColorMatic is from the master developers of Theme Wars. I’m not going to delve too deep into what this theme can do – there simply is too much information for that. Instead, let me go over some things I noticed off the bat that of course, struck my eye. Note that I only do reviews of themes that “strike” my eye. Otherwise, I personally don’t think they’re worth reviewing.

Simply Skin

ColorMatic seems to me the perfect “skin” for your Wordpress. It’s very web 2.0, sleek, and potential for customization is so high that you morph this baby into something unique that you can call your own. And I imagine – customization shouldn’t be so hard to do: just slap on an shiny header graphic and done! Excellent use of rounded corners – no immediate graphics in the pages, elements are all in code. This is sign of good search optimization which I’m sure is attracting web owners and bloggers alike. The layout is semi-magazine with good emphasis on white space, ad placements and thumbnails. I think it’s the perfect skin because it not like a minimalistic frame that’s too bare; but not too much style either that it’s too distinct.

Did I say Morph?

Skimming through the theme features, it’s kind of hard to digest all the “Morphing” abilities this theme can do. I like the four possible layouts because judging from the screenshots – it covers almost all the layouts you ever invented for a magazine styled blog: e.g. Product Centered, Slideshow featured posts, Single – large feature, Small – large featured post. Another thing that is rarely seen in other premium themes is the color picker. I’m not just talking a stylesheet selector where you get to pick from a group of css styles but rather, enter your own values to personify your own color schema.

What the Designer Has to Say:

In our humble opinion, ColorMatic Theme is not just a “premium theme” – this would better be classified as a “super premium them” because of its multiple layout options, font changer, and multi-color picker.
I am such a fan of ColorMatic Theme that I decided to redo my blog design using it. In fact, using ColorMatic Theme, this new customization only took me about an hour. Not bad for a fully custom design!
It is SUPER EASY to customize ColorMatic Theme for your needs. You can select from four effective website layouts and use an UNLIMITED number of color combinations!
