Not that I can tell, it is still that god aweful powdery blue that remains in your retnias for three hours after logging off.

To be honest it is the only thing I hate about this site, but it is better than some of those others that have the black background with bright white text Wink

I think the Blue was slightly darker than the Blue you get every second post. A light blue woud be nice, the White and Pink can be to bright at times. Either way, I like this site

Pink is okay, it was used on PRU Spitfires sometimes. Not my prefered colour scheme its true, but better than some like lilac say...

I notived no change in speed, if anything I would think a lighter color would be faster too load than a dark, less pixels or something too that matter???

I sort of like the pink not as strong on the eyes as the pure white, sort of makes the center of the page come out towards you, actually if you aren't looking directly at the boarders you can't even tell the color of it, your eyes are drawn to the center of the page.

Maybe with cooler weather upon us it should be plaid! Sort of like our cozy virtual flannel shirt we can all cuddle under on a cold winters night?

(well maybe not the thought of cuddling with all of you just seems rather sick!!!) Grin

It is slower to load because instead of a solid background colour it is a tiled image...
