Here on WDL, we’ve discussed how colors can be used to invoke various emotions. For example, the color red symbolizes excitement and energy, while the more tranquil color blue represents calmness and stability. Here we’ve gathered a collection of web designs that make good use of color. In these examples you’ll notice some using color to highlight and draw attention to specific elements, while others use larger amounts of color to set the over all tone of the site. Nevertheless, there’s plenty of color usage here to inspire you. Enjoy!

Wow great collection of sites with some really varied colour! Thanks for the share
In web designing, Colors plays an important role in highlighting the message that should be conveyed to the users. In some designs, I found too much of loud and bright colors making the main page too flashy while some other designs have a perfect balance of colors.If the colors are too intense, it will take away the attention of the user from the content value of the site.
There is no excuse for bad design on the web. Very good examples.
I really like the flow festival site. Great collection of sites, unique and inspiring.
