Hacker News: Top Colors
- achew22 16y agoDoes anyone know what this is? Does anyone have any more info on where the colors come from?
- limmeau 16y agoIn the user settings on HN, you can choose your own color for the bar at the top. I suppose these are the colors, sorted by popularity.
- cb33 16y agouhh, you can?

- yrral 16y agoI remember seeing that at some point in the settings but I don't think it is there anymore?

- jackowayed 16y agoFor the people wondering why they don't see this setting, it has a karma threshold. I don't remember what it is, but it's something triple-digits.
- corin_ 16y agoI suspect they are not sorted by popularity. The user setting is "topcolor" and this page is "topcolors", so don't assume that the "top" is implying most used.
- phalien 16y agoYou can choose your own colors after your karma gets to 250, if I remember correctly
- swombat 16y agoI use D5B390. It's very pleasant. Worth noting that if you really care and have less than 250 karma, you could always install GreaseMonkey and change it (and other things) yourself...
- garply 16y agoI find your brown is a little too dark to go with the black text. Try f1e9d9.
- swombat 16y agoHmm, weird, what screen are you using? The black text is plenty readable here... Your lighter brown is nice too, that said. Edit: Gonna try your light beige for a little while... Edit 2: Aha, the currently selected link (e.g. new, threads, etc) becomes almost invisible on this light beige... it's still visible on my darker brown! :-)
- garply 16y agoAh, good point about the white text. The darkness clash isn't too strong, maybe it was just because I was used to the light color. I think I'll switch to yours for a while.
- mambodog 16y agoI'm really boring. 999999.
- lovskogen 16y agoWhen I get 12 more points, I'll be the first one with RGBA(0,0,0,0.5)!
- chapel 16y agoI love orange, so the default color is good for me.
- maxklein 16y agoSo I'm guessing top colors are so you can easily recognize which of your multiple accounts you are currently logged into, right?
