    There aren’t many monochrome websites around these days, in my opinion because they aren’t very effective :)

    Just my opinion

    I personally really love simple, typography-esque, grid based, monochrome layout.

    Exactly where are the monochromatic sites? All I see are greyscales or black and whites. Monochromatic is a variation on the same color; black and white don’t count as colors in this regard.

    Monochrome web site looks classic and beautiful, it’s better to have white/light grey as backgraound rather than black. nice post… I like this

    I agree with Derek’s comments
    ” … touch of a secondary, vibrant color, such as the colors used …”

    i particulary like the use of red for example. It’s powerful yet if used carfully it can be subtle…

    thanks for the great posting …
