  1. Red colored templates and themes really do stand out so well. I have thought about changing our website to red actually.

  2. I see a lot of people stay away from bold colors such as red. I disagree with that! Bold colors can give a website the uniqueness and eye catching attention is is need to stand out.

    Thanks for this post,

  3. Great compilation Chris.

    Few thoughts that came to my mind. Sites that are using dark red or red and black color palette looks better than sites with bright red and white color palette. For example Web Development Group and Paul Woods are both very disturbing to my eyes. I can barely look at their thumbnails here and cannot bring my self to open those sites to view them. These sites are so disturbing. I am not sure if it’s just me or this is the case with everyone. Why they used such a bright color?

  5. I definitely got that wow factor with these designs, the boldness is great, I usually always add it as an accent color, but these designs had some brave designers.

    Thanks for the share!

  6. Thanks for the amazing collection! Honestly, some examples are not that good, but, some of these are mind blowing. I would like to say one more thing here. Red is my favorite color! Hope you’ll share more examples like these soon with us.

  7. My client wants a red design, but know I know that I can change his plans.

    It’s only me or I do not know, but… ARGH MY EYES! :P

    Themes are nice, but I would change it to calmer colors :)

  8. Some of these are very striking! But it definitely takes a certain kind of company to pull off this much red. Works for a lot of design companies and food too, but not much else.

  9. Some great examples, but none of them with the use of red give me a wow factor, warmth or interest to review the sites in detail. Some I clicked back in less than a second. Colour sure does play a vital part.
