Link color

[Arrouan]

Nice link color but not always as visible as should be

Arrouan,

We have many, many links on this site, it would be nice if we could know which one you're talking about.

Thanks.

Sorry, I was talking about the red (#CC3300 ?) on beige in http://www.ofpec.com/editors/edit_Style.css

[Noon416]

Aah, that coloring.

Yeah, it depends on the monitor and contrast/brightness settings as much as anything else.

For me, here at home its fine.
But when I'm at work, with darker monitors it can be a challenge sometimes.

I'll pass on the suggestion to those in control of the palletes, and see what they come back with.

Regards,

ARe you talking about this style of link?



If not could you send me a screenshot? Or tell me which text you have trouble seeing?

I've had the same probs with them brown-sh**y OFPEC colors back in time, and ole NOON is right - it's about setting the contrast & the brightness on yer monitor!  

Make it darker, man  

[toadlife]

I still don't know what to make darker. The entire site has allways appeared perfectly for me, on every computer I've ever been on, so I need some specific info on exactly what doesn't appear correctly. :-\

It may be that your monitors aren't displaying certain colors as they should.

I have never had any of these problems either, I have logged in from several computers.

it happens on many LCD's, yanno - flat screens.  

Try & set yer brightness to near max & boost the contrast, and you'll know about this "bug".
Nothing to do w/ OFPEC though (except from them crappy colors chosen back in time... VIT wasn't it?!)

I think the people that are having trouble might be sligthly color blind (seriously). Here is a shot of the front page. THis is a link with the mouse cursor over it..



Am I getting warmer guys?

I rather like VIT's color scheme.

 ;D lol, yea maybe we're just colorblind (not).

You know, on LCDs the colors & brightness change if you move your head?!
This happens especially with older LCD's but also the newer ones have a limited FOV.
Maybe ppl are sitting misplaced, with their head in the wrong height (too hight ?)... dunno
that might explain why some ppl have this "over-brightness" experience?!

anyway, in my case   the whole net began to appear when I balanced my LCD.  ;D
The default settings were bad and it never occured to me that I'd have to set it myself (it was my first comp. back then) to be able to see all colors on the various sites on the net, and in PC games etc.

must be a Q about bad/good monitors rather than colorblindness, me think, cause
colorblind people swap colors - they don't overlook colors (as far as I know).
They just take green for red & red for green etc. which is not the same as not seeing this & that color.

I'm for bad monitors / misbalanced brightness, or whatever its called

There are different kinds of colour blindness.

There's the most common one:
Red/Green, people confuse the two, blend them both into brown or a
combination.
(Variations on this can include any two colours and give the same effect)

Then we have the full-spectrum one:
People confuse all kinds of colours with eachother and they blend to form other colours.

Black n White:
People can't see colours at all (VERY rare, but it does exist) everything is like 1940's movies for these people.

If someone overlooks a colour it's because he or she has problems seeing that colour + whatever colour is adjacent to that in this case it would be a purple-ish and a light brown-ish colour.

But the funky angle on the LCD sounds more like the problem to me.
