Hi, I have been told a few times that red (even though chinese color) is too bright for forums and to change colors,


but please tell or give example of what color scheme would look best here?

thanks

My humble suggestion :

Keep the red forum , lose the red Background , Less Saturated RED if you want , I am against removing the red completely , its kinda eyecatching from the rest of the Default looking forums , here's my take :

Cool that would work very well!

Hmm, I have to disagree. The colour scheme is part of our identity- it's
striking, and it tells people "This isn't just any other forum- it's CCF!".
I propose this:

(I did a quick photoshopping job, but it gets the point across).
It was inspired by Bermudan license plates,

Now that I look at it, it's kind of bright, but I still think we need an
eye-catching theme, Cryptonx's theme is good, but too boring.

hey i have 2 things to say..

really nice color scheme crypton x , im going to try the grey backround for now and the less bright red later if needed.

4realmadiinchina...I think the baby blue is too bright for this site. however forget the licsense plaate, what FORD car is that? I think its very very nice!

I am glad I could be of service admin .
And I think it looks alot more easier to the eye now .

Anyhelp with any gfx related issues , I am here :D

i must say i like the new color scheme also

i must say i like the new color scheme also
Finaly we agree on anything :D
Where have you been ? or have you crashed your Dastun :D lol j/k buddy

I like the new colour scheme ;)

Yeah, I like it too :cool: .

Yeah it's easier on the eyes now. I was inspired to make forum banner/header to fit in with the new theme.

I talked with admin about the color a few days ago.
Good job! Thank you, admin and cryptonx.

Nice banner , but I hate the Bevel , a Simple stroke or even better if it should blend into the back , stretching that red to the both ends would like nicer ..

Bevels are always hated by me ... I am the Reah_I_hate_Bevels :D

edit : I took the librety to use ur banner , and went away with the design a bit , I am not suggesting to use this , but I thought it would look nice , no ?
