- goodpoint 3y agoTHIS. High saturation colors are loud and tacky. Kyoto look wonderful.
- dredmorbius 3y agoI've applied a desaturation filter to a number of websites. The Register for example: body { /* A little less bloody red, eh? */ filter: saturate(33%); } (Via the Stylus CSS manager extension.) I also browse extensively on an e-ink (monochrome) tablet, and find that the lack of high-saturation colour is very welcome. I suspect that even colour-based e-ink displays, given their muted pastel palette, might also be an improvement in general. Edit: That's Stylus, not Stylish, as I'd initially written, Which has Gone To The Dark Side.
- goodpoint 3y agoInteresting. Stylish looks like malware tho.
- dredmorbius 3y agoGood catch. I'd meant Stylus, though I keep getting the two confused as I'd initially relied on Stylish. Corrected above.
- wizofaus 3y agoSlightly ironically given the gist of this discussion, the ad shown before that video was actually one I wanted to see and watched till the end (trailer for latest Indiana Jones movie).
