Whoa, that's orange

[Umbran]

I don't even know how these colors should look like, if they exist...

They are both forms of purple. Mauve is near lilac-purple. Puce is a brownish-purple.

You young whippersnappers with your fancy words. Back in my days the world in greyscale

Back in my days the world in greyscale

Yeah. Back before they invented verbs...

 

[Rune]

Heck. His English is a hell of a lot better than my German.

Anyway, everybody knows that, back then, everything was in sepia tones.

Out of curiosity, any reason the thread links are bigger, too (like, the thread titles in the individual forums)? It's not bad, necessarily. Like I said, I'm just curious.

Hm, I'm also red/green colorblind and use the black background, but it doesn't seem to be irritating my eyes to any considerable degree.
