40 Beautiful and Colorful Blog Design

Bright colors can scare off a lot of web designers, especially when you use a few of them together. It takes more care and precision to create a design that uses eye-popping color well without being overwhelming or looking amateurish.

And if you’re combining contrasting colors, extra care needs to be taken to prevent your design from being jarring.
