    i dont really know myself lol. ok i was speaking to a designer who speaking about another designer using moist pixels for his web designs. what he was reffering to was- some web designs have 'flat colours' but others especially some of the new sites look brighter and the colours dont look flat and dull and a sort of a gradient effect. i think thats what he was reffering to as 'using moist pixels'

    To avoid duplicating others, run a search on this forum for web 2.0, there are plenty of posts talking about it ;)

    Moist pixels opposed to dry pixels? Oh, It all makes sense now.

    What he's referring to are pixels that are almost wet but not quite. They're just shy of wet pixels so he assumed the correct terminology would be calling them moist pixels.

    It seems like the first designer couldn't remember that the 2nd designer had used the term "fluid design" but he did remember that it had something to do with water.

    Fluid
    a substance such as air or water whose molecules move freely past one another and that tends to assume the shape of its container.

    so he coined his own term :D

    I like 50plus' answer. I think he was referring to a 'liquid layout', I can't imagine what a 'moist pixel' might be.
