I think the color scheme is fine!
Blog, Suttas, Aj Chah, Facebook.
He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Re: More Imaginative Color Scheme for Topic Borders
The text and background for the text includes black, white, and blue. The frames and header include red, yellow, and orange, thus, the five colors of the Buddhist flag; the colors that emanated from the Buddha after enlightenment (Vinaya I. 25).greenphantom wrote:[

At other forums where the colors are more black and white and gray, people complain that it is not colorful enough, so matter what colors are used, there will always be some who will have different tastes. Thus, we go with the colorful scheme of the Buddhist colors.

Re: More Imaginative Color Scheme for Topic Borders
The yellow/orange is a rather obvious choice for a Theravada site:

Re: More Imaginative Color Scheme for Topic Borders
I don't come here to feed a desire for sensory stimulation. The present colors serve their purpose which is to differentiate blocks of information.

Emptiness is Clear Light

Re: More Imaginative Color Scheme for Topic Borders
I agree. I wasn't suggesting anyone change it, I was just pointing out that it has obvious colours in reply to comments about it trying to look like other sites.pink_trike wrote:I don't come here to feed a desire for sensory stimulation.

Re: More Imaginative Color Scheme for Topic Borders
Multiple optional color themes might be nice, if possible.
Re: More Imaginative Color Scheme for Topic Borders
I really like the color scheme here and wish they would copy it on Dharma Wheel. The main reason I don't go there is because it looks so grey and depressing.

Our eyes might see the colour, but our mind sees the like and the dislike.

This is a very peculiar conversation!
