21 Examples of Single Colored Backgrounds in Web Design
In web design, there’s a variety of approaches that can be taken when it comes to a web site’s background. For some designs, it might be appropriate to use a pattern or a large image. While on others, a single solid color makes more sense. So for your Monday inspiration this week, we’re showing you web designs that take a simple approach when it comes to backgrounds. In this collection, you’ll see how a large dose of a single color can have a dramatic effect.

November 28, 2011I just love “Red Bowl challenge” design, how everything falls into place with the background, I really like this type of websites, the message is clear, the design is absolutely unique and well done.
Too bad more sites are not deigned like that, especially in Israel.

November 28, 2011because dramatic effect? I think this is a good collection of site. Some are beautiful examples like “oink” “350 gram”. For me i usually alternate sites with layouts with unique colours or images or gradients. Depends by the client. Thanks for sharing
