Is it just me?

And yes, I have trouble with the light pinks, golds and oranges.

yikes, oranges? were you able to read miles' memorial thread? so sorry about that..

[Catty1]

OOPS - I meant light pinks and light oranges!

Miles' was just fine. And I read the posts in light colours anyway, I really do.

[lizbud]

I'm willing to change the color but guess you don't read my posts anyway.

If she didn't read your posts, how would she say the print was hard to read?


Yes Pam. I have a lot of trouble reading small print anyway, but printed
words in light yellow, orange or pink is a lot worse.

Color is one of those things that's hard to gauge, as everyone's monitor is different, never mind people's eyes, prescriptions, the lighting in the room, etc. A color that's very light on my monitor is plenty dark on Paul's, for example, and some nice but dark colors on mine look black on his. When humans are reading type, black text on a white background is most readable, so unless I am making the text bigger and bold for, say, a birthday greeting, I keep it black.

oh ok, whew! most special thread to me.. will be bumped up in twenty days.

lizbud, mine are most of time centered (and too light for her) in picture threads.

[buttercup132]

I would be one of those people. I'll not use bright colours from now on.

so ... I keep it black.

AMEN!!

And a few of us are Color Blind -
which makes some colors almost disappear!!

Colors with poor contrast on a white background -
anything "light" >>> Pink, Green, Orange, Yellow, soft Blues ...
all "wash out" and are almost IMPOSSIBLE to read!!

Help the Handicapped!! >>> Write BLACK!!

Oh man, YES! I can not read the ones where people use light text. To make matters worse, they often use bold, which is supposedly to make it more legible but it makes it a big fat blurb of color that I can't read.

And the centered thing? Drives me batty! English is a left justified language. Hebrew is right justified. Centeing is used to emphasis, like a poem, a quote, a sales ad, memo, etc. Not for daily use.

Yikes! The House of Orange is guilty!

[Freedom]

Me too. For me, the yellow is impossible to read, bold or not. I never thought of highlighting, though! The "sandy brown" and teh cyan are also too faint for me.

I admit I used yellow in the "Dog Humor" post, but it was only on the "butternut squash." I couldn't help myself, I was having such fun!
Mostly I stay away from the yellow and pink.

I like the blue, royal blue and red; but I always put them in bold. They seem too fine otherwise.

[Cataholic]

I thought I was the only one finding it difficult to read the centered text. I thought I brought it to his/her attention once, just as a courtesy, but, no response. Now? I just skip it.

The colour that gets me the most is that light pink and yellow. Have to say I skip that, too. Hope it isn't offering me a million dollars, or anything.

Well, I am sure there is a special exemption for you.

Amazing! I thought I was the only one having trouble with some of the colors, centered threads. It is nice to know it is not only me. And yes I will skip the ones with yellow or bright pink - just too hard on they eyes. And I think someone used like a silver (or so it looked to me) and it to was hard to read. I don't mind colors but please use the darker ones for those of us with eye problems.

[gini]

Well, I am sure there is a special exemption for you.

Well, Rascal did say Haarumpf!!!

[auggie]

Buttercup, I was only able to read the dark yellow “updated with Ducky” writing and kept clicking on the flashing Ducky picture.LOL!
I wonder how many people missed the shortcut to all your beautiful pets because they couldn’t see the light yellow words.
You need to post more pictures of Hank.
