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.

The blog designs featured below make excellent use of bright colors. Most use multiple colors together, though a few take a more monochromatic approach. Some are set against dark backgrounds; others are set against white.

So, in case you don’t want to jump into an original design like these, there are a number of blog templates at the end that uses similar bright color schemes.
