Designing a blog is not an easy task as it looks like because it involve great amount of creativity and innovative ideas and then finally putting all of them in an order and a sequence which will create impressive impact on viewers. After planning the next step is to make the selection of colors for your blogs. Many people assumed that the blogs can be only in white background and they have text in black color but as now days when technology is getting advance and things are changing at rapid speed so the concept of blogs to be in one color is also getting modernized and I have observed that many webmasters and web designers are taking interest in that and they are making colorful blogs and also these blogs have the colorful backgrounds.

It is the psyche of human beings that they do get attracted towards bright and dark colors and if your website or blog has colorful combinations so it will be bringing good traffic automatically. Dark designs are gen­er­ally more cre­ative than a light col­ored one. Because there are fewer ele­ments that work well together on a dark lay­out, it requires more cre­ativ­ity and time to really come out with an excellent dark design. In this post I have tried to gather some good examples of dark color blogs and hope you will like them.

Light color schemes do allow for some very impressive typography, but when it comes to type on dark designs, I think it’s more creative and has the ability to attract the mass at a large number. I agree that sometimes it will be hard and difficult to read out the text written on dark colors but still they have good position in today’s world.

I hope you like that and will be looking to hear from your end. I will appreciate your views. If you want another creative but inspiring list of logos and reviews of company logos, leave a comment or subscribe to our RSS feed. You can also follow us on  Twitter and Face book !

Very nice. I especially enjoy the Batman blog, the header has a bit of an edge to it. I recently had a graphic design Sydney business, DPM Creative Group, create my blog and I used splotches of black as well. It was a good way to contrast brighter colors and a good way to highlight my logo! Thanks for the information on the blogs, keep up the good work.
