Lighter designs are mainly for the coporate websites and service websites whilst the darker designs are for community designs, professional graphics etc.

Personally, I prefer the lighter designs.

Light designs all the way. White text on a black background really strains the eye.

i have to go with light designs and dark text because you can see the text easily and you can use the site for more than couple of mins becaus when i go to a forum where the bg is black or dark color i can't stay there for longer than couple of mins

I like light designs best. Though some dark designs look good too.

i would prefer light design. it looks better and more defiened.
It is mostly prefered when selling banners.But it does depend on the way the websites layout is.

I personally prefer light designs... but it depends on site topic.
Light designs are most common and prefered by almost all people.

I prefer using light designs so as to make the visitors clear about what site they are in. When you have a dark design, then there is too high a contrast and the visitor will not be liking to visit that website again!

Yahoo has a great colour selection. Also Microsoft.

I think it depends on the type of website you want to make.

It depends on the subject of the site.
