This color has been one of my favorites for years upon years. Its mainstream debut was in fashion, now I'm assuming by this post it's drifting over into web design, but I think that's a bit off too. I designed my logo in 2010 using the same color.

What I feel like I'm seeing more of is combining an overall black/gray/white layout with a bold, bright color for links. Like this page for example. Mostly white and charcoal, with a pop of burnt orange/red for links and categories.
