Pick a Color...

[peterh770]

How about a peachy FFBB77

Or a -- what was the Frigidaire green called? -- 99FFAA

Then there is Springtime Lilac CCAAFF

And chartreuse seems to be the rage in some circles CCFF55

OK... how about this.....

Robert, you have a bright green for As The Tub Turns... how about a nice bright Sunny orange? Something like FF9922 or FFAA22 or FFBB00??

A purple tone 9966EE is quite nice. This would not be a screaming purple, but more a soft violet.

OK, so Brent's pick is a bit loud (see picture below), Miked's dark purple pick is next.

We will try Larry's this afternoon.

Being colour blind, I find it difficult to read when bright on bright or dark on dark is used...such as in current scheme above. Black text on a light back ground works best for me.

OOPS! My mistake!

I was thinking this will only be for the little "buttons" you click to get to those screens, but the complete background! OOPS!

DEFINATELY a pale, suttle color will be best... nothing bright!

I can't stop laughing!
That color was hideous!
I have to quit wearing my FFOOBB colored jeans !

High jinx and Holiday cheer

This could be a lot of fun, like a costume party--who can be the loudest.

Would love to see giant cinnamon or crimson.

If it's not hard to change them--like you don't have enough to do-- have a blast with a new color daily on each index till Xmas or so, then on New Years we could vote.

 

[Unimatic1140]

ugh I think Mike's pick is too dark (see image below). Let's try Larry's pick now, hold please

Ugh lol, you guys are all picking midnight dark colors.

What about Harvest Gold?

CCAA44 might as well take inspiration from the appliances

I LOVE IT

Are we gay or what, Mister? Put our money--er, color-- where our mouth is.

CC5777, Robert!

Ouchie! Dark colors are a little harder to read for me. The site is mostly easy-on-the-eyes pastels. I vote for a pale lavender! Something like the "FIND" button below...

 

[booandsue]

Needs to be lighter. How about CCAAEE. One was almost a hot pink.

 

[Unimatic1140]

OK Larry's is too dark (image below), lets see who's next I guess its Hydralique whose has chosen a delightful shade of #00CCDD.

Hold please, not bad, getting better, slightly lol.

Like Kevin I didn't realize it was for the larger background, and agree something lighter would be easier to read. Another color I like is 66AACC, which looks close to Whirlpool Sapphire Blue.

The difficulty with this is that each of us are looking at the colors on different equipment. Also, each color is influenced by those surrounding it. I cut a small square in a piece of white paper so I could view each alone.

You Need A Hoover ColourWheel...!!!!!!!

I vote for a lighter pastel = 9BBCC

Love Aubergine but deffo too dark on the eyes!!!

 

[nurdlinger]

I seldom use the "Latest Posts/My Posts" feature because my color vision is also impaired. (as is Countryguy's) All those pastel streaks are meaningless. The new trumpet shaped thing that replaced Discuss-O-Mat at the top of the forum pages appears to me thus: in the center is a yellow area. To the right of that is the same unidentifiable color out to the point. Experience has told me it's red or green. (maybe both of them) To the left is, maybe, blue and then pink at the far left. How'd I do?

This is NOT a request to do anything different. I have this problem at work, and wherever I use computers.

My 2 cents

we should stick with vintage as well as todays appliance colors......one post should stay gray, to represent Stainless Steel......

and we have
harvest gold yellow
pink
turquoise
green represents avocado
and of course brown

so what colors of the appliance wheel are we missing?

My vote? 3377AA with a White type face if you are only talking about the button, not the whole header. I'd like to see a little color in the arrows behind "Latest Posts" and "My Posts". For me White type on a darker background seems to catch the eye a little quicker than black on another color.
