No More Color Changes

Please stop asking for changes to the colors used here. Being partially color-blind, I'm usually receptive to readers' suggestions about such things, but in the past three days I've received fifty-three such requests, and each requestor wants something no one else can stand.

The color scheme will remain as it is for the foreseeable future.

I'm glad to have found you again, via a link from PJ Media
that you left.

I was thinking just last night that "Fran must be color blind."

Your blog, your choice. I like it anyway.

I like the black on blue. The green glared a bit (okay, painfully much) but I figured you were trying t emulate the terminals of yore. :)

This iteration is great. I'd bet most people will be happy with it - and even happier that you're back blogging.

This color scheme is better.

Consul-At-Arms said...

Thanks. The current color scheme is much more readable.

The color scheme is just fine. We're here for content, not graphics. {And, to be brief, apologies for the tone of my last comment at E.R.}

The current color scheme is fine. It's definitely better than the green text on black background.

I would ask you to tone down the red links, though. They're a little hard to read. I'd go with a darker shade of red, and that should be fine.

The current scheme is excellent. What you need to aim for, most of all, is luminance contrast. Which should be just as apparent even to somebody who's color blind. But once you've got that down (and you do...better here than in several of the navigational features on Eternity Road), any further input on color choice is just carping about aesthetics. Which I suppose folks have a right to do, but you certainly should feel no obligation to act on.

If they don't like it, they can join the 21st century and read in an RSS aggregator, which will let them pick their own color scheme. :)

I read you in Google Reader, so I don't even see the colors....
