I read the news today, oh boy! I've got bad mefi withdrawal, so I went trolling and as a result, the news&commentary section is back, full of news that ranges from relevant to not-quite-so-very. Eh!
To combat withdrawal, I decided to try out plastic, which turned out to be AGS (another gray site). Dang, pretty soon the entire web will be grayscale.
my collection of gray sites includes (in order of gray-ness)
http://www.peterme.com (recently gone gray)
http://a.wholelottanothing.org/
http://www.carboniq.com(of course)
http://www.biggerhand.com (though lightened up with photos)
http://www.heyotwell.com/heyblog/
http://www.davezilla.com/and http://www.designiskinky.net/ are semigrays
http://www.dithered.com/index.html
http://www.blackbeltjones.com/index.html is nearly white
add another, or explain to me why gray is the epitome of elegance.
http://www.elasticspace.com is nearly white, nearly grey.
I think http://liga1.com proves you can be grey and still very un-elegant. (I can say that - it's mine)
here's another http://bigmisterc.com
yea, i fell into the gray trap too. ah well. it's zeitgeist, doncha know

i had a dark gray weblog with light gray text that most of the readers of the site hated. i was repulsed by the result of modifications made as a result of suggestions i got so i redesigned it. it now is white to appeal to IAs but with light gray grid lines to help keep the eye directed. there's something subtle and lovely about muted grays.
i have to say the redesigned iaslash is impressively lovely.
Hey.. my site is almost as grey as the others :)
Yes, my site is grey. My Mac ran out of RGB. It's been dripping out the side near the USB port. I've been procrastinating about fixing the leak...
my site didn't used to be grey, but i took it all down and temporarily replaced it with this: http://www.pupinc.com/
- Bill / Motivo
Oh well. I'll just have to go redesign it for a higher grey quotient.
I have to say, Mena's dollarshort is a great looking somewhat grey weblog.
i like the new v-2 redesign, adam. the relevance search is cute too. a few other choice grays: praystation and sound of design (recently redesigned).
metal ?
Noticed the grey sites but didn't realize it was a cool trend. Here are two more: www.nextleft.com/ (grey text is set off with orange) and www.gardenbotanika.com/ (grey text is set off with teal text and color photos)
AND I think green is the new blue although I can`t prove it!
mmm, greyscale paradise - one of the best flash art sites I have ever seen, funny too
