The color has the effect of making great sites bland. I don’t know if the world is quite ready for this fad yet. The color has the effect of making great sites bland.

But surely you agree that the examples above look great? That's the point - how do you make a bland colour look good? Yes it does. But surely you agree that the examples above look great?

The world may never know. I agree that the layout/design/concept is great, but the color still dredges up bad memories of the beige behemoths from the days of yore. Although I am digging the Orange on http://cmdstud.khlim.be/~tvrolix/case_prema.1/ How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop..

A stark white background would be too harsh. It's funny because I used a beige and orange background on an app recently. Looked really nice. :) btw: nice fixed comments. ;) The orange on that first link really makes the site pop while the cream helps soften the look. A stark white background would be too harsh.

I agree. I just never thought cream could look good again. I take my hat off to these designers.

Otherwise, I don't like to see it too much. Far too boring.

Not all industries want their sites to have the look of metal :) my company has used cream and beige a lot as an alternative to excessive gray. It's true though that a bright or deep accent color is needed to keep the color scheme from looking to bland or neutral. Texture also helps (lines or dots or gradients or something).
