According to me, brown is a color that add a great feeling to the design.
I believe brown color add something like sweetness...

I definitely like it.

What I find interesting is that probably 80-90% of the designs featured here used darker shades of brown as well.

And thanks for the feature, btw.

I think this colour adds some gentle, warm comfortable feeling to a design.. I should use it more :P

What can brown do for you? A lot apparently, nice selection!

Irene 01/09/2009

Thank you for including my site 'Youandigraphics'

I love using brown for my designs (as you can see)

I think they work for some things, the coffee wawa site for example would only look best brown. If you make it orange, it is suddenly dunkin' donuts. Also, sepia images always look cool. I guess brown is just a great neutral color and you can do a lot with it.

How about some nice self advertisement-- http://novus.byvolce.com
I think it's pretty brown ;)

Narcissism aside, thanks for the great list. I think brown is an interesting color, as you don't see it often.

I do love these selections. Brown is actually my favorite color, and if you're careful with it, you can create an aesthetically beautiful website.

TKawai01/10/2009

Hahahaha! Shitbox? Really?

Actually now that I think about it, I kind of want it..

Yes, some great sites. Brown is a nice color when it's used the right way. It can be difficult though. I somehow like the match with pink.

Zoltan Sebestyen01/20/2009

It is a honour to have www.RespiroMedia.com listed as inspiration. Thank you!
