Pick a Color...

[mattl]

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.

Perhaps something lighter like a light orange.

Oh, I like the soft purple!!

 

[foraloysius]

I think the softer colors work much better than the stronger ones. I think the contrast with the other colors shouldn't be too big.

Ok I think I got everyone, if I missed someone due to too fast scrolling down this thread please let me know,

Starting with Tom's #66AACC

 

[Unimatic1140]

Next we have Alan's #CC0000, get out the sun glasses lol

 

[Unimatic1140]

Now for Sam's #990022, too red wine-y

 

[Unimatic1140]

Tim's #CCCCFF, which I think we might have a winner here, I like it. Brighter than the original gray but not pastel like the other forums since Latest and My Posts aren't forums but just different ways of displaying the index. By the way, I want to keep Latest Posts and My Posts pages both the same color.

Bill's #6677cc, not bad but hard to read the blue text

 

[foraloysius]

I think we have a winner indeed! Yay!

Peter's #FFBB77, I like but its very similar to Vacuumland's Off-Topic Forum

 

[Unimatic1140]

Keven's #FF9922, orange juice from California anyone?

 

[Unimatic1140]

Stephen's #CCAAEE and Eric you also suggested something similar, I like this probably 2nd best. Although its very close to Vacuumland's Contemporary Forum.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Al's Harvest Gold - ish

 

[Unimatic1140]

Lawrence's #CC5777, a bit dark...

 

[Unimatic1140]

Mike (chesterMike) #99BBCC, this too isn't bad

 

[Unimatic1140]

Matt's #3377AA, too dark. The text is generated from the same code in all the forums so if I want to make just the typeface for My and Latest Posts, it would take changing the code.

 

[Unimatic1140]

I like Tim's pick, what do you guys think?

 

[mickeyd]

Easy purple--lilac or mauve ???

I like Stephen's & Eric's suggestion best if light is the way to go.

But loving color, they're all exciting, esp. the striking ones that cause eye arrest ;-D

:O Loving all these colorful pictures. Lol.

And a glimpse of what I'm missing! I see a musical instruments thread!
