Turquoise

Turquoise continues to be popular in web design. So those of you with turquoise websites are considered trend-setters!  Here is an example of turquoise.

W. Williams is a nice example of the use of turquoise.

Magenta

I can hear the collective sigh behind the thought of using magenta! Don’t worry, I’ve got a couple of design ideas for you.

Magenta color sample

The first one is Weddings Actually.  A site that is geared towards women is the perfect opportunity to use magenta.

But how do you use magenta in a unisex targeted website? Check out Sabre Fox.  This is trendy without being overly feminine!

Raspberry Pink

A bluer pink is in this summer! Think Raspberry Italian Ice or Raspberry Snow Cones.

Pizza Venetia shows how effectively you can use raspberry pink to create a site that is warm and inviting.

So you now have the Summer 2008 color trends in hand. Are you brave enough to drench a site in one of the hottest summer colors or are you going to play it safe and use a touch of color here and there! Either way, when in doubt, remember white is the hottest non-color of the summer!
