    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.
