Whilst many websites opt for the bright and bold approach, many others favor a dark, stylish color palette. The darker web design style can lead to some really stylish results, bringing out the atmosphere/mood of the content far more than a plain white background.

Hi Buddy!!!
Why always the white like black.. i think + & – ve concept in designs too.. meet again.

Looking good, great list!

Capricon design was awesome and dodge is pretty stylish… very professional
I really like dark themes used on websites as other colours stand out more. Most of the sites I design tend to be dark and this post gives me some new inspiration. Thanks.
Black is the new Red, i totally agree!!
Website with dark fonts and designs gain attention rapidly and grab the attention of a person. Thanks for showing a variety of web designs. Thhats really impressive.
Personally I build most of my client’s sites with a white background, however viewing some of these eye catching designs has made me reconsider that approach. I particularly like the color scheme of Breezi’s Website.
does anyone has a good list of white background? just curious
Wow nice collection… These designs are mind blowing and cool
