Proposed Color Scheme

Searching for a New Color Scheme

There has been interest on the wiki about a new color scheme to go along with the new skin for some time. We have finally gotten somewhere with the discussion here, and so it's time to put things to a vote! Here is the current scheme and a proposed scheme. As always, tell us what you think-- both positive and negative-- about the new scheme.

So far, this is our list of criteria (nicely given form by Cúthalion):

1. Easy to read.
2. Easy for people (with or without color vision) to distinguish links from surrounding text.
3. Easy for people with color vision to distinguish different color links from each other.
4. Pleasing to the eye.
5. Close to what people are familiar with.

FYI, in the proposed scheme (1, 2, and 3) are the same, and (5 and 6) are the same, so there are only four colors in total. Feel free to address the wisdom of this (or lack thereof) in your comments. --Cúthalion 18:35, 4 March 2007 (MST)
