it hurts my eyes. instead, use happier colors and reserve red ink for the mods. green is good, it's positive and it catches attention. blue fits the tl color scheme. yellow and blue is like a dream combo. orange and you can be the golden state warriors. whatever. just stop using red, i always jump a bit when i see red ink.

Mods trying to grab attention from people shouldn't be a bad idea if they are using red ink to direct people to most discussed problems

Yellow actually isn't a very nice color for TL =/
I have always been partial to orange on TL though

I'm fine with every colour used so far: orange, yellow, red, and blue.

I agree that the association of red with mod messages makes it seem unsuitable for most regular text. However, until there's a better way for mod warnings/bans to show up, it's fine. Personally, I'd like to see a more developed and integrated system but I haven't brainstormed ideas yet.

I wouldn't call that hot pink, Plexa.

To answer your question: No, I do not. Wasn't the Kennigit vs Yubee Bo50 image pink though?

red is so bad >.< at least when its about temp bans or warnings i dont actually have to read it, and just assume it >.>

can't we just use blue and green, or maybe BLACK?

Pink is bad lol, I had to highlight to see what you wrote. Yellow is hard on the eyes. Orange is strangely nice and the light purple is good too. Strangely those warnings in orange and purple won't have the same effect as red.

Maybe for bbcode TL should add orange, remove red, and that way only mods can use the red with HTML when giving out warnings.

Orange is cheerful, Blue is calming, Black is neutral, Yellow can cause frustration and anger.

I think it would actually be useful to have a few more colors (like orange and purple). Because sometimes when writing a guide or something, bold , italics, and the 3 colors just runs out fast.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

The colors are nice, as long as they're not abused. I find them particularly useful when there's many sections to a big post, and there are big words in different colors heading each section. Otherwise if I see colors in a normal paragraph or couple paragraph post, I go crazy.

infact, it might be a good idea to make it so TLPDized posts will use 3 different colors for sc2 players and maps and whatever it does.

That's what TL needs, an option where you can change the backround color to something darker than white; I'm sure many tl'ers read this at night and it burns the eyes. I was going to make a FUUUUUUU picture, maybe I will when I get home. Nobody steal my idea lolo
