Color Inspiration: Go Green with Envy

Color Inspiration: Go Green with Envy

on Apr 5th 2010 with 28 comments

Green is most often associated with nature, money, and success. Because of this, it’s most often seen on either environmental or financial institution websites. Though it mixes well with a variety of other colors, green is most often paired with neutrals. We’ve compiled twenty five perfect examples of this in today’s inspiration round-up.

    Green is really a colour that I don’t use quite enough. I especially like the design for Rype Arts! It just seems to look very nice to me.

    Great inspiration!

    Nice! Green is also a very calm color, ever wondered why a green room is called a green room? I can’t say I have seen many financial sites with green, do you have some links?

    Check out http://www.resourcepos.com …try to add some green to the website to show that the company is conscious of this. But didn’t want to go overboard with it.

    Not really a tutorial, but inspiration and I for one wish for more of these type of roundups.

    I’m probably not the only one who bookmarks these for inspiration on mood boards and the like.

    Cracking post.

    Green is such an amazing color, it works just about everywhere. The only thing that is contradicting for me is that I don’t like the primary color green. I really like the unique colors of green that show up.

    Green layouts are awsome. Especially in combination with white and light gray, u get an amazing “web 2.0 look” and: green feels like spring and fresh air. Great selection man!

    Green is a very useful colour when used correctly. Perhaps peoples first impression when you say Green is that of something horrible like snot or slime. Used appropriately like in the examples given it can be very effective. We should all be more GREEN.
