  • We recently showcased Very Colourful Websites , so now I think it’s time to give the opposite “colour” scheme some time in the spotlight. By opposite of course I mean Black and White. I find it very fascinating and inspiring when website designers take the Black and White design scheme approach, in a web marketplace of sensory overload with vibrant colours and techniques. It’s great to see that some designers still believe in Less is More.


    So please don’t adjust your monitor colour settings, these ARE supposed to be in black and white.

      The contrast of the black and white makes these sites come out so clean and awesome..

      The black and white sites are very classic looking, i think the designs with a variety of tones and textures in the designs look the most effective and less flat.

      really cool collection you sharing. thanks

      even though colour fashionista may say that red invokes passion or orange expresses vibrancy, i maintain that lights and shadows are the best expression of the content. the only problem is that if you want or need to link external multimedia into your site. as far as i know there is no b&w filter for a youtube vid or flickr photo but it looks like most of these sites are business-oriented anyways.

      Black and white looks great, but some customers are so stubborn, give me color they say.

      nice. cool idea.

    • November 30, 2009 at 7:01 am

      Isn’t it amazing to find such a wide gamut of emotions being expressed with just 2 colors? This is such a refreshing and exciting collection. It’s sure to make every designer rethink about designing principles.

      It seems to me that black and white is best utilized in areas where creativity is valued. Design firms, decorating companies, etc. It probably wouldn’t be the best choice for firms wanting to convey professionalism and seriousness, like accounting firms.

    • September 6, 2010 at 1:24 am

      Black and white are always in. I love the blending of the colors and even if its look dull, it has an unique effect in the eyes.

      Matching the flower girl dresses wedding to the Rest from the Wedding ceremony Party Whilst you want the your dress to become in keeping with the off the shoulder black dress with the relaxation from the marriage ceremony celebration you would like to bear in mind that considering that the blue flower girl dresses is commonly a bit girl the dress she wears really should be in retaining with her age. You don’t want this gown to be a miniature of the bridesmaid dresses uk , you need it to have a look along with a fashion of it’s very own. For example, in case your bridesmaids are all wearing dessy bridesmaid dresses s possibly, the dress could possibly be white with ivory flower girl dresses or have a white flower girl dresses inside a style much more suited to a bit lady than a grown up.
