20 Fresh Examples of Color Usage in Web Design

Posted by Gisele Muller on Jul 11, 2011 | 21 Comments

Colors are very important to print, graphic and web design. Colors are actually important to everything, from spring to summer, clothes to balloons and so on. To show the power of colors we already showcased colorful websites here a few times, including a showcase published in March/2011 and October/2010. Today we gathered a new fresh round of websites using colorful elements to show you. From complete colorful layouts to discrete elements, you will see that colors can give your website a really neat look.

Great list.
I personally love sites that mix almost bland minimalism with a splash of colour to draw attention (much like Girl Effect and Egopop above).
I tried my hand at this once, with what I consider moderate success (http://www.crazyshrinklady.com if you want to have a look).
Designing sites like that never fails to impress clients who like pretty things.

What a great article for a Monday morning. It’s great to see colour in web design, obviously, never too much. I loved ‘Red Pop’ and ‘More Hazards’ is a lovely design and a great example of responsive web design. Ala is a bit crazy but it works well in reflection to the company. I have seen none of these before now.

Yeah, colors are very important for catching attention. Personally i use a dark background and a light green/blue color for the content. Its stylish and useful.
