Totally agree, I'm pretty bad with colors, so I started with monochrome palate and just before the launch (or even during the launch) I decided to change it to bright orange #fe6400 (save as HN navbar), I thought it would be more attractive, but it's more annoying for eyes. As you said in HN they've made tiny bar and I mead full header :D I will think about colors. Maybe you can suggest good website that have caml colors that not annoys you and you can spend a lot of time there?
- Stratoscope 7y agoI don't have a particular site to recommend, but my general feeling is to avoid bright colors. You'll never go wrong with simple black and white, like what you have now after you scroll down past the header and buttons. OTOH, judging by the multiple downvotes, I may be a small minority here. Maybe other people like the page full of bright orange? Or maybe they didn't like my commenting on it. Since no one saw fit to say what they didn't like about my comment, we may not find out which it was.
- andreyazimov 7y agoI'm quite surprised that your comment was downvoted so much. Maybe people like this orange HN color? :D
- Stratoscope 7y agoTo be honest, when I said "multiple" downvotes, it was probably just two. (Two is a multiple of something, isn't it?) Not a worry, I assume when people downvote a comment they have their own good reasons for it. In any case I am grateful that you found it helpful. I will keep my eye out for sites that are clean and easy to read like you asked about and will follow up with any suggestions!
