I think it's just great,please do not change it....Ted said that this place feels like home already,have to agree with that.....it's purfect.

I did notice it matches Linus's head

Iubitul Jul 06 2007 10:35 AM

I think it's just Peachy.... Seriously, I like it how it is. It's easy on the eyes

Edgy DC Jul 06 2007 10:51 AM

Feels a little fleshy to me.

I voted "Whatever" and I'm the one who selected the colors! And speaking as the one who selected the colors, I'd like to make it clear that very little thought went into it. If anyone has other shades of orange that they think will look better, then please share them.

I voted for the last one. The contrast isn't freaking anyone else's eyes a bit? What about a nice FFFFCC? Too Michael Jackson?

Kid Carsey Jul 06 2007 01:39 PM

I'm diggin' the contrast of the blue and tans and mellons. I don't see orange when I look at it. Orange is the color in php'bb' up top.

Edgy DC Jul 06 2007 01:42 PM

I'm OK with FFFCCC. It also provides more contrast from post to post.

A Boy Named Seo Jul 06 2007 01:46 PM

You had me at melons.

Mr. Zero Jul 06 2007 02:31 PM

maybe a nice road uni gray with some orange highlights might be easier on the retina. the new site looks great nonetheless. bravo!

Johnny Dickshot Jul 06 2007 02:38 PM

I voted "whatever" but am leaning toward a little too skin-y too. Plus, it's difficult to make out on an index page those forums with new messages, at least at first glance.

Gwreck Jul 06 2007 02:50 PM

Really dislike it. Voted option #3. Like the Mets-colors idea, but the peach and blue doesn't seem to work. Find myself missing the old color scheme.

Edgy DC Jul 06 2007 02:58 PM

We're quickly losing the Brooklyn vote.

metirish Jul 06 2007 04:42 PM

Whatever happens I hope it's not going back to the all blue color.

This just in from SJR-- he wants pinstripes.

Batty31 Jul 06 2007 07:14 PM

It wasn't so bad earlier at work, but on my laptop the "peach" is a wee bit bright for my sensitive eyes. "My eyes...the goggles...they do nothing"

is it me or are the colors getting brighter? maybe i'm just getting duller...

A Boy Named Seo Jul 07 2007 09:49 AM

It's not you. I'm seeing three different colors in the orange/brown family, I think. I love you all, but these colors are crazy.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2007 10:13 AM

I get variations on pumpkin. I'll try some shtuff out this weekend.

Zvon Jul 07 2007 01:16 PM

I love the whole look of the whole place.

Elster88 Jul 07 2007 07:07 PM

I don't the oranges.

metsmarathon Jul 07 2007 08:01 PM

getting better...

A Boy Named Seo Jul 08 2007 11:36 AM

Yeah, I'm liking the softer oranges. My eyes don't feel like bleeding anymore. Thank you.

Edgy DC Jul 08 2007 11:41 AM

I'd like to maybe alternate the softer orange (which should be behind my text in this post) and a neutral off-white or gray.

A Boy Named Seo Jul 08 2007 11:49 AM

I think that would look even better. And still look Mettie. Just subtle.

metsmarathon Jul 08 2007 11:59 AM

yeah, i think the neutral colors will help.

Kid Carsey Jul 08 2007 12:55 PM

Greys would probably work best. One shade DDDDDD and one CCCCCC? http://www.dusek.ch/utilities/colors/DDDDDD

Nymr83 Jul 08 2007 01:07 PM

the DDDDDD and CCCCCC would look fine, not that i mind it as-is.

metsmarathon Jul 08 2007 01:51 PM

y'know, a black background is better for the environment... (but doesn't look as good, usually)

metsmarathon Jul 08 2007 02:16 PM

very nice! these mellower colors can allow for a deeper, darker blue, if desired.
