   Great list of sites. Color choice is definitely one of the hardest parts of web development, something many designers glance over.

   A great resource to use is kuler.adobe.com. You can download some great palettes in ASE format for use in PhotoShop.

   Interesting list! I was looking at a website that made me really consider the role of color in design (www.zanperrion.com with its blue color), and then the next thing I see on the web is this list. Are there any studies that correlate the colors on websites to the usability (or feel) of a website?

   Fascinating subject!

   If you’re going to use others peoples work as the main purpose of the blog post, the least you could do is include proper links to their sites.

   Way to show respect and link off to the respective owners of the very well designed sites.

   Yea link to original author would be nice but anyways nice post. These days color depend more on client choice rather than what designer prefer.

   I can’t believe you wouldn’t even include a clickable link to the original sites. Why bother showcasing them at all?

    A horrible set of sites, truly. Each one decorated and illustrated to death.

    I like the sites and disagree with Mikael’s opinion that they’re overdone. I do think a link to the original sites would have been very helpful for the post. The thumbnails get the point across all the same, however

    Great blog, I design and learned allot of about colors. Also I just liked some of the designs. My style for sure, I love how images are being faded into the background allot now.

    I like the use of color. I’m bored to death with standard black/white colors. Don’t let the standards bore you anymore … Get out there and design a colorful site with colorful quality graphics. Again, nice list
