Pretty In Pink: 25 Creative Websites That Make You Think Pink

Trends come and go but one that I have yet to see fade out is the color pink. It’s had its high times where almost everyone was using it, but lately we’ve seen it taper off from the forefront of the design trends in web-design. Some might still think that it’s overused, but I personally like seeing it used in creative ways.

Some people might argue that every design trend has been overdone (can we say 3D corners or apple-esque designs?). Regardless of what the current design trends are, you have to admit that the sites below utilized the color pink in very creative ways. I have separated the designs into subtle use and excessive use (you’ll see, excessive is good sometimes). Let us know in the comments which style you like better and what your favorite pink colored websites are.

Don’t forget that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month where people from all over the world change their website designs to add some pink to support the cause.

    I hate pink! For a good cause though, so I won’t object too much.

    @Heather: hehe I guess pink is kind of an acquired taste. You do use some pink on your own site in your nav bar and links though :)

    I like how you say “Subtle Uses Of The Color Pink In Web Designs” and then show three sites that are just BAM! PINK BACKGROUND!

    I like pink color very much. So all the examples provided in this post are great and now I have some new ideas. I will try to realize them in the nearest future.

    Pink and black is my brand colour for all my group sites. The orginal is my sr concept site. (www.srconcept.co.uk). Just love the colour and it goes so well with black.

    cheers

    Million thanks for featuring Liz Lance. http://fulbright.lizlance.com/

    Montoya, I agree with the “…BAM, pink background….” bit, but I feel Liz Lance need that feminine feel to the whole design. I deliberately chose neon pink to complement the nature of the website.

    Hello, I wrote a similar post in my modest little blog. My post features 3 or so of these same sites (funny we both started w. Daniel Schultzman! lol) but you found some other greats that I had not. Thanks for sharing. I for one, love the color pink and I am not afraid to say it. Your site is fantastic, have a super day.

    Does a thin pink line on a black site (Solid Giant) count as a pink website? Either way, I have an inexplicable love and craving for all things pink. It makes me feel all fuzzy and a bit funky, too.
