    @ Gisele Muller : i am not sure, did you noticed the most of the site using Blue in any part of their site? Actually Blue is a trusted color in web. Blue, white, green, etc. are standard and simple. If you look around and check carefully any of these color are exist in each popular site.

    whatever, i would like to give you thanks for this post to share with ut.

    Thought this was a great article and it includes some of the best sites I have seen in a while. I thought every site you have included has something great about them, not only with the use of colour but the design and interaction on a lot of these sites blew me away. The site that stood out for me from the collection would have to be the Tag Creative site. I thought the use of colour was spot on and really helps break the areas of the site up and gives it a wow factor. The use of colour mixed with the techniques used on the site does make it stand out. I did also really like the Everything you need to know about Design for the bold use of colour. Great article and this will be one I will be going back to time and time again for when I am looking for inspiration both for design and development.

    This article made its way into a discussion group I belong to on LinkedIn. Having read through the article and refreshing my memory on color principles in web design, I thought that my site could use a makeover. Thank you WDL, very good read.
