Over the next few weeks we’ll be taking a trip through the color wheel as we look at showcases of various color-based websites. This week we look at yellow.
Yellow is a tricky color in the design world. It is undeniably bright which makes it excellent for grabbing attention but the brightness can also make a reader’s eye sore. You sometimes walk a fine line when selecting yellow for your design but if used correctly, it can be a very effective and refreshing alternative to more common shades.

Nice collection of ‘bright’ sites! I suppose in some ways it’s a tricky colour to work with, but yellow seems to lend itself to the current trend of large fonts nicely. It shows off black text really well – fantastic tool for creating a call to action.
Thanks for the inspiration!
