10 Most Commonly Used Colors In Web Design And Their Examples

Well done, I can see many excellent examples here. My favorite is yellow but using Yellow comes with many risks !

Great post with superb examples

Great article, Yanuar! My favorites are blue and brown – I always seem to gravitate towards those.

By the way, I’d agree with most of your assessments but I’m just wondering how you determined which feelings go with which colors. Are those just your personal associations, or are they psychologically proven? It was a good article either way!

Good article and I like the color combination

Thanks

Do you ever need to consider colorblindness when it comes to factoring in what types of colors to use?

If you really want to get technical, pink is just a shade of red But where is the fun in being technical? great list, some good uses indeed.

Great showcase!

Nice info! How about colors green and yellow?What do they symbolize? They’re my face colors.

Great examples! Blue is always a classic.

thank you .. good question, it’s not my personal opinion and I think it was a mutual agreement in the field of psychology

yup.. i think that is very important for me

green is the symbol for the natural, natural yellow while the symbol for the brain

pink synonymous with softness and cheerful

Excellent showcase…. Red and Orange websites truly inspire me a lot. They spread a lot of positive energy.

Hi! What do you mean with: “…And pink negative meaning is Homosexuality, Bisexuality…”

I think you don’t mean it the wrong way but it’s not quite correctly formulated… What do you think?

Great illustration of the use of colors and themes! I love seeing the Curtis Hotel (Denver) here. Their design is fabulous, and was done by high end designers Korn Design from Boston. Check them out for inspiration: http://www.korndesign.com/

Thanks, this was very interesting and informative.
It makes me wonder about the psychological impact of shapes and if you can leverage specific shapes with specific colours to produce certain emotional response.

Bold colour use does take some courage sometimes! The choice of colour has to be taken very carefully as it could possibly alienate some users for a particular brand.

I also find it interesting that green tends to lend itself more to illustrative designs – something I’ve noticed before.

Great inspirational list.

Wow! Great article in web design perspective. Thank you.

actually pink is a ‘tint’ of red, as it’s red with white added, whereas a ‘shade’ of red would be darker ;P

Great information. If my website included here, where will it be placed? On White categories?

I don’t think you can ever have enough great red websites, there’s something really powerful about a solid block of color on the web.

thanks for a great collection!

Nowadays more and more people are going for a monotone trend, a black and white website that looks more business-like.
However, that red is gorgeous, I like it the most.

Thank you for including me in this list! Nice showcase. Thanks for the share.

Very Excellent!!! Congratulations!!!

I love looking at Icebrrg’s site. There is just something about it that makes it look so pleasing to look at. Plus I see that many blogs blog about it.

Interesting – glad I picked green yellow and orange for my site !

I think in these enlightened times you should maybe change your last sentence in the pink description as those things would only be negative if you perceive them as negative. I suspect that pink is a colour which will be very carefully chosen before using in a website unless its an obvious one like “girls makeover parties” or girls clothes etc. The examples shown work well in pink although I suspect the last two would work equally well substituing the pink for green or another colour.

so good
thank your

I really like Ripie, it’s a cool design, the first couple of Red ones on the other hand are not so nice, it’s a really bad shade of red in my opinon.

thanks for the post though, was good.

As a designer, I have to say that making sure websites are very large (in width) is very important. – typical LCD’s are coming in at 1920px wide. Something to bear in mind.

Nice list, I love red color. Shared colored always have high preferences then other while designing a website.

Brilliant post. A lot of people don’t understand the importance of choosing the correct colors when creating websites. It’s absolutely vital that understanding the users needs is the #1 priority. Nice eye catchy colors but not too intense that it takes the attention away from the content.

i like using black for my blog but purple is my favourite color

Nice and informative article. Thanks for sharing I’ve also considered the “color topic” and write an article about colors in Web Design, hope you’ll find something new and interesting in my post:)) Here it is: http://www.oddmag.com/web-design/color-magic-how-to-choose-proper-colors-for-your-website/

Thanks for these excellent examples of good design.

I am agreed that colors
become one of the most important part of any web design. To get an attractive and user
friendly website, it is important to pay attention to the colors of your
website. Anyway, thanks for sharing this.

American baby names reflect the multi-cultural diversity that is the United States. Immigrants clamoring to get into the country were often illiterate and too concerned with life and death to be worried about how their names were spelled on official papers. Immigrants facing discrimination often dropped the trademark characteristics of their names. 

Some great thoughts here, good advice for re-imaging brands

The purple ones could pass as black though… 

Use bold colors, and sometimes does take some courage. The choice of color should be taken very carefully because it may alienate some users of a brand. I also find it very interesting, green design often speaks for itself – this is before I have noticed.

Great! 

very good examples of using colors in web design!
