Web Design: Black Layouts
August 28, 2008
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.

I really like the last one. You didn't post the url. I really wanna know what website that is

Yeah me too, i really like that one, though it seems oddly familiar...
I think the fourth one (boxes) is really neat too.

Visualbox is by far my favorite in the list. But hey, Abduzeedo's second! :) Also check out: http://www.estudiomopa.com/site/?lang=en and http://www.creasenso.fr/

Cool list, some very inspiring stuff. I really like the photo at the top of FibreCity. lol: at Abduzeedo being on the list (not that it isn't great!) :P
**Dark** not black.
duh!

I'm loving black styling, my unfinished blog (xander.am0.co.uk) is black and it just works really well.
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
you forgot one

Sea interactive is one of my favourites of this list! I like black layouts very well, they always express somekind of deepness.
Don't want to say you forgot one, also it's on alpha, but perhaps you wanna check out my blog, black layout too =)

I really like the last one I think it's not only the best black design but nice content as well.
Really cool! thanks
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.

Never knew that.
Layouts are appealing in Black color!
Nice colors - primary colors always look good on black background.
Real inspirational, huh :)
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.
great article! I love your webpage design. trully fantastic!
great use of physics on itlooksgood
shame about the weird religious work
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.

Is that html? php etc.. i want to try design a layout like that
thanks
oh wow, these are really awesome! thanks for posting a great resource.
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!
I've always loved Kineda's black layout:
