100+ Black Patterns Great as Web Backgrounds
How about using black patterns as backgrounds to make your light-colored website look more appealing? Seamless patterns are very useful for website backgrounds because they are lightweight, making your website load faster. And, that is perfect if you are optimizing your website for Google and other web search engines. Fast-loading websites also improve user experience. Nowadays, flat and almost white website design has been a growing trend. If you are among those who love this trend, then you need to balance the look of your site by providing contrast.
Here, we rounded up more than a hundred seamless black patterns with subtle textures that are perfect as website backgrounds. All of these black patterns are seamless, meaning they repeat seamlessly to fill any amount of space. Thus, aside from using them as website backgrounds, these are also ideal for large-format designs such as those that you intend to print later. Dark designs are not for everyone. But using a dark color scheme can help you achieve trendy and elegant looking compositions.
On the other hand, if you are not a fan of dark backgrounds for websites, then you might be interested to check out our roundup of free subtle patterns for minimalist designs.
