Green forum accent color...

...I was just getting used to it. I really liked the blue before the change to green, but now I'm not so sure. :?

Personally I don't care either way.

However if I'll pretend to be an antagonistic internet nuisance for a moment I'll just say:
"Ugh I hate it.
Hey how about making it Colorado Rockies Purple?

'ROCKIES PURPLE
PANTONE: PMS 5265 C
HEX: #333366
RGB: (51, 51, 102)
CMYK: (93, 90, 31, 20)'"

:lol:

I don't really care either. Just stirring up trouble. I use Cascadea on my Mac and can easily make it whatever color I like it. I'll switch to Rockies purple and screenshot it for you. EDIT: bad news, Rockies Purple won't work. Too dark, links don't contrast with text.

Obviously the solution is to go into the forums and get into a huge fight about it.

Is this a seasonal switch? Blue for "wintry season", green for "summery season"? I'll adapt, but it did throw me for a moment.

That one has potential. I didn't finish, but here's a good idea what it would look like.

Blue doesn’t work with the brown.
I’ve never liked the brown.

A seasonal switch would be cool. Like the different CO license plates with green or white mountains. Think those correspond to the season of registration. Would be cool if they were thermochromatic.

I was testing new forum color schemes and ultimately I will be customizing one of them to match the rest of the site.

I reset it back to the green/orange but now there are a couple of different color scheme options available by going to the forum "User Control Panel" -> "Board Preferences" and changing "My Board Style."
