Yeap - agree with Richard. All but one of the screenshots’ main colour is orange rather than yellow.

Minor niggle aside, thanks for posting a selection of orange sites

I love yellow websites - hence my own site being top-to-bottom yellow. I agree with Barney about yellow being hard to make universally appealing.

I regularly get emails/comments that my yellow site is either fantastic or absolutely dreadful. Sadly, more the latter than the former -and some people can get quite vitriolic about it too.

Personally, I think yellow can be a brilliant colour to use to really make a site stand out.

hmmmm…most of them are more orange then yellow, still look good though. I’m a developer not a professional designer but it looks like a hard colour to use to me.

Nice post, I have kind of noticed the new yellow themes coming in this summer, but have only noticed it sub conciously. Great post.

I was really intrigued with this from the RSS description… It’s very hard to make yellow universally appealing.

Orange is a fair bit easier I’d say. And unless my screen’s dodgy, these are all distinctly orange (apart from weboutsourcingservices, those curtains are indeed yellow).

On a colour-blind level, these are all fairly nice sites. Nice round-up.
