After recently posting 30 Clean and Bright Website Designs, I thought that websites with more washed out color palettes can also be beautiful. Therefore, I’ve compiled 20 beautiful web designs that utilize washed out color palettes.

With a lack of bold/bright colors it’s often harder to produce an attractive website. The duller tones must be perfectly balanced in order to produce a stunning end effect. I hope that you enjoy this roundup, and please let me know which kinds of web designs you prefer.

    Wow Nice list of website with washed out color palette. BlackMoonDesign is my favorite in this list.

  2. User GravatarTom 13th September 2009

    Thanks for commenting Thomson. I really love BlackMoonDesign too, although my personal favorite would probably be: http://sketch.odopod.com/

    A lot of these are beige and grey, but I used a ‘washed out’ scheme on my site with pastel rainbow colours. I would’ve liked to see more hints of colour in this round-up.

    Oreana: I may do a pastel roundup soon, I really like the color scheme of your website.

    Logo Bliss: Interesting idea, I’ll definitely consider something like that for my next web design tutorial.

    Nice sites. Is this a new trend?
    Though actually only odosketch is using washed-out color consequently. The others use it mostly for background pictures. Think my site is then also washed-out… is it?

  15. User GravatarRak Logo Design 26th September 2009

    Love the collection! Lemorios has a cleancut look which i like. Its my favourite.

    http://mistyukevych.com/. this must be the 3rd or 4th site in the last 48 hrs that I have found that appears to have ripped off the theme of elliot jay stocks’ website. i dunno if he should be flattered or pissed off. in this case, it’s laughable. the designer doesn’t even bother to change the copy. does a blatant ripofff deserve to be showcased as it is here?

  18. User GravatarTom 6th October 2009

    Hey Adam. I don’t really agree that it is a rip off of Elliot’s design, it’s a similar colour scheme, but has many differences.

  19. User GravatarWeb Design Singapore 9th October 2009

    really cool list! appreciate this

  20. User Gravatarom ipit 22nd November 2009
