35 Creative and Colorful WordPress Themes
So many websites out there pay no attention to color or simply make poor use of it. While site design that lack bold color choices have their time and place, its always invigorating to see a site filled with color. Needless to say, I had a fun time collecting these colorful WordPress themes!
Below, you will find a collection the most colorful and creative WordPress themes on the web. I have included both free and premium themes; so there is something for every budget!

Flag as inappropriateThis is a great topic for discussion. You picked a loaded one. The arguments that are presented on both sides can be very convincing,not only from your post, but the entire debate
Flag as inappropriateThese wordpress themes are pretty awesome and useful. My suggestion was to spice up these themes by giving advantages for each theme at the botton

Flag as inappropriateWow. Thank U!
Flag as inappropriatecool, Great wordpress themes!
Flag as inappropriateVery, very cool, and stylish, but this just occurred to me – if you are a graphic designer (or any kind of designer, really) then wouldn’t you want your blog to be totally unique, and a reflection of your personality? So, then… how do you do that with a template? (This is actually a serious question. How DO you customise a template, or incorporate a photoshop mock-up into one? Or is there a great dividing gap, between those who can design a theme from scratch, and those who use the templates, and there is no halfway point in between? Hmm…)
