Although we sang the praises of colourful web design a week or two ago, we are equally fans of sparse colour schemes that use lashings of black and white throughout their design.
Some of these sites use a little colour and some nice shades of grey as well but the colour palettes are kept to a complete minimum, here are a few of our favourites:
Wow, this post has given me hope. My site is black and white (due to low funds) and the only color I have are the posts’ pics and the highlighted links (red when hovering, purple when clicked). I like it. A friend of mine keeps encouraging me that it’s good for now and that I can get it polished once I a) get some money or, b) learn CSS and HTML myself.
The sites you listed look wonderful. Even yours with the all black theme. This is the line that I want Tailor Made (my blog) to be in. Thanks for the post!
