Noise is good

Recently, I’ve noticed something cool when was surfing the web: noise-based backgrounds.

Real examples

Surely most of this examples uses shadows and light effects, but the noise avoids a silly solid color.

Posterous

Tumblr

Instagram

So, the tip is: if your background with solid color looks pretty unsightly, you can just use a noise, and voilà! It can be so nicer right now.

This blog has a noise-based background too, what did you think about it? :)
