Handling client approvals

[semmatt]

Hello,

I'm relatively new to the field. Can anyone advise about how they would handle a situation where the client wants to ruin a web design comp by insisting on their own colors. I've suggested other colors and done everything short of saying "no". I simply don't want the website to reflect badly on my company's work. I've done the colors very nicely and the client wants to use browns and has no eye for design but thinks that he's a designer.

Is it wrong to tell the client no?

hi take the money, give them the keys to the website and forget about it.

if its truly horrible what they've done, take your site credit off the site, and take it out of your portfolio. let them ruin it beyond belief, then let them run back to you to "fix" it.
charge twice as much, and kindly request that they stick to the approved style guide (that you've created) to go along with their website, and their branding...
