The new colors are definately not eye appealing. Not to offend whomever is changing them, but they just do not look right.

*** or perhaps it is my video card on the fritz...

They really are pretty bad...i like blues and grays. They are usually appealing and friendly to the eye. And very commercializable. Maybe a blue, white and orange for spunk.

what was wrong with the original colors?

edit: I think I see why you are doing this now... trying to compliment the new logos? hmmm, not sure... but the current theme just doesn't seem to work. I'll play around a bit myself.

I liked the previous colors, but I think they could be improved. Since Mike has asked for suggestions, I would like to suggest adding the ability to use gradients for many of these colors. I think it's pretty amazing what a "little" gradient can do for the graphics. Second suggestion--how about another little contest? I think that would be fun/useful!

Mike, try something pale (grey and reddish blue, about 1/5th from right of the band below "SNI")

you know TestMagic is right, gradients would really be a nice touch. In fact, looking at the color and style of the lettering in the Snitz logo, that same style could be used, a "glassy" look...

If you are using Internet Explorer 5+, take a look here:

But, this is IE only. The gradients are done without any images at all. But to be cross-browser friendly, we would have to use images.

I'm not trying to promote my forum here but...

If You look at my site: http://www.railway-forum.com/forum/ I used gray, and white. Those might look pretty good here.

Really....My users say that it's good like that, I tried to change it before and they aid it was fine the way it was so I can't argue with that! But I too was thinking about the gradient in the cell, I think I'll give it a try.

OK< I need to leave now because these colors are hurting my eyes!

I think it is the lavendar that is "off" to me... but you're right, the colors are not that different.

The lavendar clashes with the grey topic background color.

Not that I would know anyway . . . I'm colorblind (figurativly)

I'm colorblind too! I have to get permission from my wife to change any of the colors on our sites.
