I’m guessing it has something to do with everyone going “green” these days, and trying to do what they can to help the environment. I don’t know if dark sites save much energy, but the sites listed here are stunning! They use the dark to create drama. Adding color to a dark design creates a rich and tasty contrast, and one of the most common features of these sites is the saturated imagery. If you’re anything like me, you study amazing sites for inspiration, and hopefully, these won’t let you down.
