The web is full of sites that provide quality content and services, and making yours stand out from the crowd can be hard. Most users surf the web by skimming over it, closing things because they don’t seem useful. Making your site stand out a bit can be a useful ploy to get your users to stick around for a bit longer to find out what you’re all about.

The Color Purple

Purple is a powerful color with a bunch of connotations including royalty and riches. In logo design purple is often a color not thought of much by designers and because of this it’s quite original to see a purple logo. This gives you a chance to make your logo stand out, especially with a powerful color like purple. Of course, first of all you’re going to need some inspiration, and below I shall provide you with a bunch of powerful, colorful purple logos for your inspirational needs.

The Color Blue

The color blue invokes calmness in a person. It’s like looking at the sky on a summer’s day, or swimming in the sea. On a usability level, blue is less straining on the eyes than the other primary colors (Red and Yellow). Blue is also a cold color, on the opposite side of the spectrum from red. This means it’s a common connotation for things like winter and now.

Red is one of the most powerful colors in the spectrum and for that reason it is usually used badly in websites, as it can easily overpower everything else. When used correctly though, red can be a great color to use in web design, and can add a strong touch to it. It can be used to highlight something, or even to make the website stand out more, helping to drag the user in. Below are over 30 red websites that make great use of the color red.
