Web Design: Black Layouts
Following our hit series about Web Design, today I bring to you only awesome black layouts! Man, I love these... It's incredible how a layout can get beautiful with darker colors.
And of course, when you work with black, the right colors will bring just the right contrast. Lime-green, Orange, Electro-Pink... most shocking colors will bring awesome life to the layout. Of course, checking this sites you'll get to see many examples of how to apply colors in a black layout. Some of these are not pure black, 'cause if I start to name all the shades of black, grey and other monochromatic colors I'm gonna enter an eternal loop. So, I just hope you all enjoy my selection. Cheers!! ;)
And of course, the best black layout ever.

Great sites! Love abduzeedo.com, I'm a big fan :) Another good black layout can be found at UCreative.com. It's a graphic design inspiration gallery, so we went with the black scheme to really put all the emphasis on the user uploaded art work. It's a very clean design with simple navigation. Hope you like!
oh wow, these are really awesome! thanks for posting a great resource.

Great collection of dark designs. Some of these will be great inspiration for a project I'm working on right now. thank you very much
This is a great list. I saw many of these sites (including this one) as I was deciding whether or not to do one myself. It's still under construction but I launched mine recently as well.

great article! I love your webpage design. trully fantastic!
Honestly, I've never felt I could design a "good" site with a black background. However, I'm going to tuck away this list as inspiration and have another go at it. Thanks for the post.
Nice colors - primary colors always look good on black background.
Real inspirational, huh :)
Layouts are appealing in Black color!

Never knew that.

We just noticed our link has been added here from a quest, but there was some errors. They should have been corrected now.
We must admit, It's a great list, a lot of beautiful layouts.

Sea interactive is one of my favourites of this list! I like black layouts very well, they always express somekind of deepness.

Admittedly, my display brightness is not *that* high and there's light coming from behind, but seriously, this'd have more credibility if you didn't use hardly readable grey-on-black text... :P
I'm loving black styling, my unfinished blog (xander.am0.co.uk) is black and it just works really well.

**Dark** not black.
