Gal's Chaos color schemes

[Galadriel]

I made three screenshots and here are three different colorschemes.
With the first one I sticked to the blue theme from the background, I like this one but the problem is when someone is posting a URL link, it wont be visible anymore, since that is also in blue.
I left the dark green panel as it was here.

The next one is one with grey and lavender, a bit too dark if you ask me, and the background doesn't fit anymore either, while some people seem to like that a lot. I didn't go to all the trouble to color the inside of the letters as well, but you'll get an idea...
I colored the dark green panel in black.

The last one is in dark yellow shade, or oker. I left the beige since it fits this colorscheme best. The darker yellow is the one where i left my mouse, just to show how it would look when you are moving your mouse over the page.
Dark green panel is also still original, fits with the brighter yellow tones.


Just some ideas, I think it's a good idea to let the members create something.

I rather like the first one.

Blue in all forms is much better for my eyes.

I like the first one except the "darker blue" shade could be just a little bit lighter.

Two looks the best, but it's very.....purple....

All the different blues on the first one clash.

I agree with that. Needs softening up, is all.

Agreed on the first one. A lighter blue and maybe a different colored background? There's a bit too much blue going on

Agreed as well - it's very purple but I like that the background is distinguishable from the board itself.

I really like the second one best

Ok, I softened the blue on the first one and made the purple less bright as well. From the purple-grey screen I also remade the ones with the yellow tones but changed it into the grey lavender pattern.

The first one got better.

How are the hyperlinks to look at? They seem ok from here, but you probably have the close-up.

I like having more than one color in the design as a whole, one major and one minor, but in those tries the contrasts seem too [violent?], I think, especially with that background... The blue try is the one I prefer of the 3, but I'm sure we can find nice stuff that's not all blue too... ;D

[janggut]

yep, i prefer the blue (softer) as it makes reading much easier & u can look at the screen longer without strain.

Bumped to mark the end of the contest.

I really like the remade first version.
