This is absolutely one of my favorite sites - especially since the responsive design update. The isotope search is absolutely gorgeous, along with the new format, in general. I may be a bit biased though, since it was this website that got me into web development and serious programming in general. (At that time, ptable wasn't responsive and I wanted to create a different periodic table site that had that feature). I'm glad ptable is being featured here - while I was at college I was surprised to find that not a significant majority of people knew about the site. Even for high school chemistry, it's orders of magnitude easier to use compared to the textbook or online ad-hoc element search queries.

When just starting out with website development, I designed without color. It proved effective because I did not have to worry about fiddling with colors. However, I don't design without colors for the simple reason that I can easily incorporate colors into my design without thinking. I use a color scheme called open-color for all my projects. If I'm using sass, for example, I just refer to the color $oc-blue-2 for a light shade of blue. I feel designing with basic colors before putting in actual color values is much better.
