Grey - It's the New Black! - GoFuckYourself.com

You know what I'm talking about.

How can anyone human read black writing on grey background? I mean, I could pump the contrast on my monitor, but I could also disable flash or turn off my speakers to surf GFY.

Remember sites that say "This site best viewed with Netscape 3.0"? GFY needs one. "This site best viewed with audio disabled, flash disabled, and your gamma set to 5.0."

but reading black on a white background is still a LOT easier

Like in Josie and the Pussycats -

Green, it's the new blue!

Blue, it's the new orange!

That movie was genius - it just took some time to realize it.

DrGuile · 07-16-2004, 11:15 AM

Maybe its just me, but this text is white on gray....

??

candyflip · 07-16-2004, 11:16 AM

Actually...pink is the new black. A tshirt at Hot Topic said so.

fishy · 07-16-2004, 11:21 AM

Elli, have I told you lately that I love you?

Elli · 07-16-2004, 12:00 PM

I am referring to the BLACK text on GREY background, of course. Like the "quote" "reply" "edit" links on the posts.

See? You want things done, you just ask me.

Elli · 07-16-2004, 03:19 PM

I have one little niggling thing. The "already visited" link colour is white, which means the list of page numbers at the bottom (which is on the white background) turns white for the pages I've been to.

Just FYI.
