Brown - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Does anyone else agree with me that brown in a depressing colour scheme for the SFF CHRONICLES website. I vote for blue ...

alchemist · 7th May 2011, 01:30 PM

I'd never thought of it, until now. I say dark green.

Chaoticheart · 7th May 2011, 01:47 PM

Purple or hot pink in my opinion.

Vertigo · 7th May 2011, 01:50 PM

I'm not too bothered but I spend a fair bit of time looking at the Chrons pages and I really really would not want something that hurts my eyes or my sensibilities too much.

Brown? looks more like maroon to me. Not sure I'd want to change it. Plus I'd end up with a headache if it was brighter.

I don't think it's brown either, it's a rather attractive dark maroon I'd say...

Ursa major · 9th May 2011, 11:23 AM

It's a dark maroon.

(But those who think it's brown could always find a way to replace it - on their screens only - with one of the Cameron tartans. Or even cameroon....)

RJM Corbet · 9th May 2011, 11:36 AM

Well, dark maroon then ... I still vote Blue

Cayal · 10th May 2011, 02:16 AM

Grey for me.

What, you all think this place is a democracy?

THERE IS ONLY MAROON.

Too many of the sites I visit are blue; very cold (but good for technicians)

I rather like being able to see which site I am logged onto but not actively watching from the thumbnails? Those little boxes in your toolbar, telling you what you've hidden?

Looks fine to me. Spacy subjects, Earthy tones. Perfectly balanced.

RJM Corbet · 12th May 2011, 01:36 PM

Earthy? As in: 'brown', you mean?
