The colors found in a web site are the salt’n'pepper of each web designer who’s drawing layouts and web interfaces. Bad colors means poorly designed pages. Not pleasant. Borring. Gives unconfortable experience to the visitor.

From time to time, not in a regular way, the predominant colors that web designers preffer to use in their web layouts, are changing. I’m sure that many of you remarked that the orange was quite present in many websites you have visited during the latest 12 months or more.

Having a look on some websites during this week I realized that the today designers are no longer fans of orange but of shades of green and gray. These are the predominant colors that gives the salt’n'pepper for some of the well known web sites out there, some of them being designed by the most important designers in the industry today.

I have compiled some web sites which are using green and gray as their main colors for accomplish very stylish web site designs. This is a source of inspiration and a source of learning how to combine colors to give your website a pleasant look.
