The Seven Deadly Sins represents vices and tendencies that were believed to be misdeeds in early Christian religion. The sins are as follows: envy, pride, wrath, sloth, lust, greed, gluttony. Each sin is said to be represented by a colour.
For example, envy is best represented by the colour green, which — in many cultures — is also the symbolic color of money. I thought it would be a fun experiment to compile a showcase of a few web designs based on the colours reflected by the seven deadly sins. Note: The web designs featured were used for aesthetic purposes only, not to imply that they characterize the sins.
