Black is always in. No matter the hype and trend, black always stands out. I love your black designs, it look classic and cool at the same time. The color scheme conveys elegance and sophistication… really cool!

Wow, did you searched them all ? Or do you have some more lists like this ? Actually lot of times I found such things more attractive then colorful ones.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Glad you all enjoy the sites…
@Alex – Yes, I spent alot of time searching through sites dedicated to design, and more specifically color, to gather all these. Judging by how much people liked this particular post I’ll probably do something similar down the road with a different color scheme…stay tuned!
*edit – I also used stumbleupon and found a few winners with that method!
