A request on colours.

**Lirael** · 06-10-2004, 11:00 PM

Yes. Colour is spelt with a u.

I, among many others on the board, don't have 20/20 vision. With the normal grey on black, it is fairly easy to use. If you want to use colours for all of your posts, that's cool, but think about the people who want to read what you post.

Cause when people use colours like dark purple in their posts, people find difficulty reading it. Having to read posts by highlighting them so you can focus on the text gets really annoying. Really quickly.

Brighter colours are fantastic. Pale yellow etc are easier to read then the standard grey. But the darker colours, please please think of the kittens and make sure that before you start changing your posts to a set colour, that it is easy to read on a black background.

Or people like me will soon pretty much just ignore your posts :/.

\m/ Good point here.

Just say that some highlybrighter colours might be difficult to read, too. My eyes hurt with some of them. I don't know if it's just me and my weird vision. :\

But thanks for throwing it out.

Only if you are a freak who lives outside the US. We don't conform to your lame, oh lets add in a 'u' to color and favorite.

Dev is the exception though.

Dude.

The bastards that colonized my little barren rock of a country MADE the English language.

Cause they are English.

Check mate. Damn hick American.

Psh, you know you want to conform to our stereotypical bling bling superpower culture filled with mindless idiots who want to get paid without doing any work.

And it all starts with Color.

It can be spelled either way and be right. :P

Hmm, I've never had a problem reading any of the colors, but I tend to ignore ones I can't read. I think I've only had problems if they're too bright and light-colored.. but it's rare. I think it probably depends on your monitor.

Hmm, I think it depends more on where you live. Try that in my school and you would get marked off by my professor for incorrect spelling.
