A few months ago I posted a collection of beautifully colorful websites, and I wanted to follow up with 25 more sites that provide excellent inspiration when working with colors. The 25 sites displayed here use a wide variety of design styles, but all make effective use of color to create a fabulous look that leaves an impact on visitors.

I quite like a few of them, which is strange for me. Colourful is very easy to go overboard with or get totally ‘wrong’ and the majority of colourful sites do this. It’s great to see a collection of sites that get it right!

Cheers for the feature!!

A very nice group. I especially like Cottonseed Oil, Sharpcast, and Radu Cueca. As Mothership said, colorful can easily be too much. These are bright and cheerful, but still restrained enough to be appealing to a wide audience. Well-chosen!

Kelly

Beautiful Websites.
So many web designers are using great fresh color in their graphics designs.

This excellent compilation of inspiring sites. Thank you very much!

Honestly, i dislike a website that uses too many different colours. I’m not sure how many percentage of visitors are like be, but a uniform and clean webpage that uses less than 5 colours stands out better in terms of legibility and professionalism.
May 16th, 2008
Some of it really is great but some are too colourful and to my dislike. Eg: Casio Exilim Lab
But using multiple colours surely won’t make a person bored and gains the audience’s attention. And it caters to the younger generation IMO

fusion looks great! nice simple stylish!
May 16th, 2008
I would pink Mostly Lisa’s page the best because i has a blue eyed girl picture in front that is most probably Lisa. hahaha

Wow so colorful! Kind of psychedelic and makes my head spin. Agreed, too much color is not a good thing. But when done with restraint, it an be a very potent source of attraction to potential viewers.
May 20th, 2008
Awesome post! I like seeing sites that use alot of color, but don’t look corny or overdone. Very nice list. Thanks.
