nice color usage, and good templates
Really nice round-up Tom. It didn’t occur to me that those site were using brown colour schemes. They look really good but if someone asked me to build something with a dark, brown colour scheme I think I would struggle, some great inspiration here.
Great use of brown. Brown can be a nice color for design if used well, it can also be dull and lifeless so it’s a fine line to be crossed.
http://idesignvectors.com is another good one.
Great designs.

My new site uses browns too – would be great to hear some feedback!

We’ve just finished a nice brown site, http://www.ndcproductions.co.za
Here’s a brown site that we finished a few months ago. We were a bit afraid of using brown, but it worked well with the restaurant image and it turned out looking quite nice:

Nice ones.. Here’s what we did with brown: http://www.hamarikaksha.com It was featured on design galleries such as CSSMania.
Great collection, maybe this one it’s ok too.
great post. love the colors used in your examples, so many times i’m working a the <a href="http://blueprintds.com"Web Design Company i work for and clients want a brown theme, or feel to make it more natural, this was a big help thanks
Braun and orange colors are very empathic and firendly colours!
Mercedes & BMW call brown = Champagne
Because brown is for Toyotas. And Zunes.
Its amazing how you have used a rare colour like brown in designing your sites. Its good to see blue with brown in websites, especially here in blueacorn.
Great Info, Good to see some great designs.
