One of the commenters from the recent BZ thread said he found the color scheme hard to read.
I'm not really a visual dude, and in fact I usually only see the blog itself to check the content.
So. What do you guys think? Is the blue-white-grey-green thing lacking in enough contrast?
I'm afraid that I'd have to agree with the other commenter - your site is difficult to read. Good content, a pretty color scheme, just not very readable.
ReplyDeleteits fine with me !
ReplyDeleteEasy to read on mobile.
ReplyDeleteYep. Very easy to read on mobile.
DeleteSince you were kind enough to ask, yes I do find Freeper Madness a bit hard to read. The dark blue type on a lighter blue background is difficult for me to read with these old eyes of mine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking.
Change the dark blue links to orange ones. And remove the green entirely. Orange works as a compliment to blue and will stand out while balancing out for the eyes. The white text should stay.
ReplyDeleteI've also never had a problem reading the site.
I don't mind the color scheme at all, but I can see how some people might have trouble reading it. I do like the darker background with lighter text, though. Maybe you could do the same or similar color scheme as thebestpageintheuniverse.com?
ReplyDeleteAgreed ...
ReplyDeletethe dark blue "hot links" on the grey background are hard to read, especially when one's screen has any screen glare.
Orange was suggested above ... I'd suggest keeping them white like the rest of the text, but underlined to indicate they are links.
Hyperlinks are illegible, everything else is fine.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought the color scheme was fine.
ReplyDeleteWhat is very sad is seeing the freepers promote child abuse:

It's always looked good for me, maybe its different for other browsers? I'm on firefox 19.0.2
ReplyDeleteThe pale blue green for visited links is a little hard to read. The rest is fine.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best post I have ever seen on Free Republic. I tip my hat to somebody who calls himself lurk.

This is what lurk had to say,
"Do we hope that scandal will take down the President?
It’s weak to hope that your opponent will trip and fall.
Real men sack it up and compete."

ReplyDeleteBut don't call them racist...
It's funny. I've never noticed this colorscheme...thing. I just wondered what the hell you were doing at the cracked forums, when SA has something meaner for you. Somethingawful/D and D /freepers, theres always something more and it's always worse
