The bold red isn't bad, but I am getting into the lime green, it is easier to read by a wide margin.

Green is good. It's easy on the eyes, has good contrast, and is easy to find.

Yes it is!  Thank you.  I like reading what you have to say and now I can do it without pain.

I found a neat picture of the Sun up close, use it as my avatar, and it helps finding all twelve of my posts...

I just don't read the blue posts anymore. The lack of contrast hurts my eyes. That and I tend to think if someone does not feel what they have to say is important enough to make it legible, it's not important enough for me to make the effort to make it legible.


Uh, maybe I'm just a self-centered so-and-so, but my name makes my posts pretty easy to find in a thread...

Optometrists will tell you that good contrast is essential to not tiring your eyes out when staring at the terminal for umpteen hours per week.  Otherwise, your eye vision will eventually deteriorate.

I know that....staring at a monitor won't hurt eyes anymore than reading a book for hour-on-end. But, low contrast makes my eyes hurt in the same way low refresh rates or super-tiny fonts gives me a migraine. There may be no long-term damage, but in the short-term in hurts like hell.  :o

Believe it or not, I wanted the blue to be easier to read, it was on the Taldren board.

I love this green though.

I might start using Orange, I thought it had a nice look.  But maybe I'll just stay lazy and use White ;)

But I've been using Orange, Green and Purple for some time when I want to differentiate between different parts of my posts.  I'll stick with the purple if people can stand it.

Am I the only one still having trouble reading and understanding your post? Although, I admit it has more to do with content than contrast.  :P

Kroma,
