> Am i crazy for being this upset and hurt? Your hypersensitivity isn’t normal, but you already know that. Given you are now dealing with something very painful to you and you aren’t getting anywhere, it’s not crazy that you’re upset and hurt. > Even ignoring my hypersensitivity i would have expected that given my role in the company my feedback to a redesign would be heard and that at least something i hate would be avoided From everything you’ve described, I’d be absolutely shocked if that happened. > How would you react in this situation? Hard to say. If I was in exactly your situation then I’d be you and do what you’re doing. If I was more like me and faced the issues you face, I’m not sure what I’d do. You’re going to have a hard time at most jobs where you have no control over the colors of most software you look at. Maybe use accessibility settings on your monitor to do something like black and white or muted colors? Maybe I’d found a company or be a contractor for more control. If it was something different but with the same results (I hate something then getting treated the way you described) I’d definitely walk. I can’t stand the dynamic you’re talking about.

Should we really be advocating the OP quit their job in a company they are obviously happy with in general and probably have significant financial stake attached to before maybe suggesting a custom style sheet

  I suggested adjusting it at the system level, so I hope it's clear that I think adapting is a good strategy. I'm not sure a custom style sheet solves the problem since they "live and breathe" the product. That's going to involve mockups, assets, etc. I don't think it's obvious they're happy with the job at all. They've said nothing positive about their cofounders. Really the only positive thing at all is that this current product "seems like it will take off" which isn't exactly a slam dunk. It seems like a pretty bad experience to think you're totally responsible for a product and have a redesign done behind your back.
