    Default Blue

    Did you ever notice how most websites are blue, or mostly blue? Anyone ever figure out why? Are you sick of blue yet? (Not counting EoFF, these colors make me happy.) What color do you think should replace blue as the internet color? I say green. What are we going to do about this? Do you think a peasant uprising is out of the question? Theoretically, if I were to begin such an uprising, could I count on your support?

    Blue just looks soothing to the eye, I think. Even the new vBulletin default is mostly blue. I think green usually isn't used as much because it stands out a lot more to the eye. It's hard to explain why, but this is a bit harder to read than this. Maybe. (And yes, the two backgrounds have the same brightness)

    I offer just about every colour scheme imaginable at Fools' Gold. np

    I think that white with black text should replace it. The runner-up would be black with white text.

    White is used a lot. At least all the cool, hip designer people with minimalistic websites use white a lot.

    I think we need more yellow. :} BRIGHT yellow.

    My website is mostly green. It's definitely good to have "natural" colours like blue and green as the primary internet colours. Anything else is hard on the eyes.

    Blue is no easier on the eye than anything else. It depends on what shade you use. Bright neon green is terrible, but so is <span style="color: #0000FF">this</span>, or <span style="color: #00FFFF; background: #fff">this</span>.

    With orange, you don't even NEED a good site. It's just like... ORANGE! and everybody is too distracted to care.

    Dark blue is pretty, I don't know why. It's a matter of taste, or probably biology, but I don't know that subject.

    subdued colors are good for websites.

    No, I've never noticed it, but now when I come to think about, and you're saying it, it's actually true. I don't mind it though. Blue's a lovely colour and it's a colour that the eyes can look at and relax at the same time...

    Yay Blue!

    I don't know. I think orange and purple are the colors of the future (see my livejournal for proof of this. It's fantastic).
