  • frjsanders, on 10/26/2008, -0/+60I wish I had any design talent at all...
  • lifeisgoooooood, on 10/26/2008, -1/+25Superb collection, some excellent flash
  • nyde, on 10/26/2008, -2/+16This is perfect timing with Halloween coming up!
  • xythian, on 10/26/2008, -4/+18All Batman design deserve digging, especially when they're excellent and in a list with 49 other less cool, but still great designs.
  • kplo, on 04/01/2009, -0/+12i generally hate flash, but some of this stuff is pretty good. and i think it's a testament to a designer's skill to be able to work with dark colors like this.
  • lekahe, on 10/26/2008, -1/+13Dark design is very challenging. There are very few options for the text colour. I have left many sites because of black background and purple text which really does not show.
    Beautiful, but not for people who don't have the artistic eye....
  • P4Paarth, on 10/26/2008, -1/+12Dugg because it's all on one page, contrary to most submissions.
  • theadvinci, on 10/26/2008, -3/+13Great designs. I loved http://www.okb.es/ the most.
  • inactive, on 10/26/2008, -1/+10Quite a variety. Nice collection.
  • inactive, on 10/26/2008, -1/+9I usually don't like these lists because the sites aren't chosen well enough IMHO, but this list had some great designs.
  • inactive, on 10/26/2008, -1/+9Up in this bitch?
  • jcorn1, on 10/26/2008, -1/+8I always wonder if the (hint) of light behind the dark is what makes the dark stand out - or vice versa. Either way, using a mostly dark layout is challenging -and intriguing.
  • coondog35, on 10/26/2008, -1/+7So much easier on the eyes. I wish Digg and Google would do this.
  • numberneal, on 10/26/2008, -1/+4the darker the berry the sweeter the juice;
  • lolmax, on 10/27/2008, -0/+3^ offensive to good designers everywhere
  • MLGLies, on 10/26/2008, -1/+4MmmMmMMmMMmM

  • raphael7, on 10/26/2008, -2/+4Great collection
  • sladek, on 10/26/2008, -2/+4Title should be "50 websites with black in them and a few without"
  • Garciat, on 10/26/2008, -1/+2Great source of inspiration and new ideas.
  • FcukAllYall, on 10/26/2008, -1/+2The DK one was nice
  • Swerengen, on 10/31/2008, -0/+1I digg most of these designs, but I thout the Batman one was kinda weak
  • solarweasel, on 10/26/2008, -3/+4buried for batman.
  • sharkich, on 10/28/2008, -0/+1good. but i like black and white. like http://www.sitetime.kiev.ua/
  • gmoney1, on 10/27/2008, -0/+1Hmm....Starbucks......helping people, eye candy stuff....OMG BATMAN!
  • AbeVigoda, on 10/26/2008, -1/+2Nice one. I used to work at Juxt.
  • spreadfunkyness, on 10/27/2008, -1/+2I like it! Black is so deep...
  • lolmax, on 10/27/2008, -1/+2Using so many dark shades also cuts down on power consumption. I find it a little easier on the eyes as well
  • 2ptyou, on 10/27/2008, -1/+2This one uses black to very nice effect to showcase the work and give a nice retro-90's web design vibe:

  • teddarling, on 10/26/2008, -1/+2Definitely some nice work on display here.
  • ModeSeven, on 10/26/2008, -1/+1LOL at "fast" Eddie Chambers. Is it just me? Were the sites affiliated with "Fat" Rosie O'Donnell or "Black" Bill Cosby not up to spec?
  • gasin, on 10/27/2008, -2/+2The "dark design" is very misleading. I thought the websites will be dark in their interpretation and theme and not just their color scheme.
  • kmb1794, on 10/26/2008, -1/+1http://www.austinisrad.com
  • inactive, on 10/26/2008, -4/+4Racist.
  • motionSymmetry, on 10/27/2008, -1/+1maybe four were worth a look, the rest were hardly more than ads presented to you and me in an unusual fashion
  • zohaibusman, on 10/27/2008, -1/+1super hit like a dark knight.
  • CodyMoncur, on 10/26/2008, -1/+1Designing a website using a dark scheme is very challenging. It's nice to see some people who succeeded.
  • yehaww, on 10/26/2008, -1/+1dugg for no slideshow
  • blogriffic, on 10/27/2008, -0/+0beautiful stuff

  • jensenbelmont, on 10/28/2008, -0/+0Yea. I have seen http://mycacties.com before. It's a great example of a dark ecommerce design.
  • JernejK, on 11/01/2008, -0/+0I like Elliot Jay Stocks!
  • deathsythe, on 10/27/2008, -1/+1Aren't black backgrounds for noobs and angst-filled teenagers?
  • secrity, on 10/27/2008, -2/+1What about lilac rather than purple? Nice color, but light enough for good contrast.
