I am working on new forum colors for backgrounds and text. Add comments here for nominating/ showing new examples.
Maybe your feedback is: "Old is good" "New is good" etc.

Current colors feel a little too bright, but the old colors needed refreshing. I'm a bit colorblind (and design-blind) so I'll refrain from suggestions. Here's a cool site for color choices: color.hailpixel.com/(Move your cursor around the screen)

The blue on grey is definitely better than the earlier yellow on white. However, I've always liked the black background, so, personally, I wouldn't mind going back to black.

a black or dark background is a lot easier on the eyes, and the monitor as well.

I am a simple lurker on robot japan, but I have to admit that on the opposite, I always found the previous dark/blue skin way too dark ! This was even quite uncomfortable for my eyes... I guess that some people prefer dark colors, while others ... don't ! ^^"
Generally, I always thought that boards skins should always be in temperate/pastel colors... There's in particular a whole lot of blue/gray tones that generally satisfy everyone.
But frankly, I couldn't bear the previous skin more than 15mn lol

The dark site was tough to stay on for long periods of time, and I am glad Ed wants to do a refresh.
In the thread regarding forum change in the break section I stated and posted screenshots that I was seeing a different softer white background with no crazy yellow lettering like some reported. It was really nice and flowed well.
I like the one I was seeing a little better than the blue. I will try out the blue at home on the laptop tonight rather than on a mobile device and let you know what I think.
Check out the screenshots I posted in the other thread if you can.

The only thing I don't like at the moment, when you hover over the Subject, it turns to a dark blue and can't see the text in case I would want to go to the last page.

That one looks much better now, you can see the black text stand out when it's highlighted. zozo-mag Updated the thread hilight color to a lighter blue. thx for the feedback.

While it is nice, I think the current baby blue background really weakens the forum a bit. Just looks off to me. Not terrible, but I feel it doesn't really go.
The off white I was seeing looked modern and clean. Made our robots and mecha pics stand out amazingly.
Maybe if you combine the black header bars with the off white background if people don't like the all white? Then you could do standard (not super bright) red hyperlinks for stuff that was clicked on?
