Re: the website could use some less yellow
I'm just gonna pop in and say that I really like the color scheme here. I think Dharmawheel is a little gloomier.
Secretly, the only reason I'm a Theravadin is so I get to use the forum with the better color scheme.

Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.

I associate yellow and orange with Theravada, and red & other earth tones with various Mahayana; I always assumed such a robe color theme was the basis here...LonesomeYogurt wrote:I'm just gonna pop in and say that I really like the color scheme here. I think Dharmawheel is a little gloomier.

We had several discussions about the color scheme here and especially at Dharma Wheel and one thing for sure that came out of that is that there is no way for everyone to be happy with the colors. It was sort of like "too many cooks spoil the broth" as almost everyone had an idea of what colors should be used and even where the colors should go, so eventually just stuck to the common colors found in the robes of the traditions with the note that the colors would never change (so no one has any expectation).
Plus it is a good way to test your upekkha (equanimity).
