7. Black and White: Uber

When it comes to website color themes, it doesn't get much more classic than black and white. One great example of this straightforward color theme is Uber, which uses this classic black-and-white look across both its website and apps.

Black and white color schemes are great for creating a feeling of luxury and timelessness, which is why many luxury brands rely on this color scheme.

While Uber might no longer lean into luxury to the same extent, it did start as the more premium "black car" service, so the feeling certainly fits.
