what happened to the good old RGB spectrum?

Hm?
Pink isn't in the rainbow, and I would cry if it was

Red Green Blue spectrum...

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

I like the green better than blue, because of stimmy habits with using my cursor to select/highlight text as I read it. Doesn't work very well on the blue posts. Has anyone else noticed that there is a bias towards more blue than green? Every page starts with a blue post, regardless of what the last color post was on the previous page.

Not surprising considering your username is greenblue.

On internet explorer: Tools tab; internet options; accessibility button; and then click 'ignore colours specified by webpage'. That should sort any sensory crap anyone's getting.

But then everything would be colourless.

The Planet Earth is blue and green. So is the WrongPlanet Logo. So, therefore, is the forum.

the colours are a lot easier to process things through than other forums,there's one am know of that is bright red...its a disability forum and is used by many who find it difficult-dyslexics,autistics with visual processing problems,visually impaired,those who get migraine etc.
it's supposed to be given a new colour this year,but they only think it affects VIers/blind.

We could just have customizable forum templates? That way people could just pick the colors they would like. Green and blue could still be the default

Blue and green is my favourite colour combination. Recently I dreamed that I visited somebody who I suspected of being an Aspie, and the walls in his living room were alternating blue and green, just like WP.

I am not sure if this is the brand that is used by wronglanet, but it is a start.
