White is underrated

When you think of websites with white backgrounds you probably think of search engines, news sites, and plain designs with lots of crammed in content. Many people want color, texture, and bright vivid designs. White is often overlooked, but many things can be done with just a white background. White offers the ability to add lots of contrast, allows your images to pop and there are many possibilities that you might not have considered before.

Here are some great sites that use lots of white to achieve a great look.

  1. Is it just white space that is good, what about empty space that is cream or a slight texture, say A List Apart’s website? Just a thought. M.

  2. This article just talks about white as a color, and the use of it in web design. However, white space is a different concept, empty space just as you described, and is good in any color! Thanks for the comment.
