11 Pretty in Pink Web Designs

I like some pinks in some instances. I tend to dislike excessive or 'barbie' pinks - except in roses :) I'd go further and say that I've seen screens that I've immediately closed because of excessive pinks - but then I read the Guardian supplement so make of that what you will.

I did a very tiny bit of qualitative research (I asked my brother who is colour blind); he tells me that he sees pink as grey. A further little bit of research on Wiki states, if I've understood it correctly that between 7-10% of US males are colour blind - it did a breakdown into 3 ethnic groups and 8% of caucasians males are affected. (Colour blindness is more often but not exclusively, a sex-linked inherited male condition) Further information from Wiki states that the colour blindness tends more often towards difficulties in perceiving the red/green tones, which affects pinks. (This makes me wonder if you are targetting the so called 'Pink Pound', how many can actually see it?)

Perhaps the intended demographics for the website will not make any difference?

If the factor of demographics is a serious consideration in the intended graphics, it may become very worthwhile to review the design in monochrome to see if the graphics are still clearly defined as what is very obviously defined in colour can be tonally, very similar and undefined.

Hope this is helpful.
