    Hmmm the grey is very nice, tasteful but maybe lacks a bit of, well, colour! :)

    The blue looks good and matches my usual boards skin. I'll have a think about it!

    Thanks for all your hard work.

    I've voted grey but i wonder if, in keeping with the book design it would be better black with white writing (like the red one except not red, eh.... black - boy, that sounds incoherent :) )

    Very nice anyway. Well done.

    Use silver as default and then have a java script button on the site where the user can pick any of the colours themselves :)

    There was an idea to change the colour of the cover print every year, and the page could match that colour.

    What about getting close to the colour of 2008 book title?

    Grey is so BORING! GO BLUE :D.

    I think it would look better in black then in grey

    I think black would be over the top. Their needs to be a mix in colour. I kept the bottom half dark/almost black to coincide with the book and wanted to give the top some different colour so that visitors didn't get too depressed or bored :D

    EDIT: I'm sort of half hoping blue doesn't win because I've been designing my own site the past two weeks and it's blue :(

    Bright pink it is then!

    Just messing, looks like the grey won. I'll post up info about getting your pictures to me in the next few days.
