Board Recustomisation
Hi everyone , |

I am very excited about this.
As ever, I'll go with the flow, no problem. But I do find the background of this board is very dark. Like, when we use smilities that are a little stick-figured, you have to strain your eyes to see the arms. For instance: Also, but of lesser importance, I'm not a fan of the purple-y hues. Like, it's the one colour I'm not fond of. But, seriously, if we could just lighten the background a smidge, I would be a happy camper. What are other people's concerns? __________________

Sunny! I was thinking the same exact thing when I saw this!
These colors are way too dark for me, and kind of depressing shades. Lighter colors all around, I say. I like the banner with the cast fine, as far as decor. But colors, the sooner a change the better. __________________

Our intention is to make this board lighter . I on purposely made Star Wars, Star Trek, and Third Watch our priority when we reached a large group of boards which were all done around the same time. We have found that dark colours are harsh on the eyes; along with the reasons you listed.
What sorts of colours do you like? What colours do you feel fit the show the best? You may wish to take a look at the design seeds website for colour scheme inspiration. Who are the most important characters to be included? Do you have any pictures of them? It is preferable if we could have the highest quality possible promotional pictures, and if there are any individual cast pictures. |

I like the Spring Hydrangea Hues
#97bad9 & #c3daeb Those are my 2 favorites right off the bat. The picture we already have on our board works for me-it has the whole cast. Sunny & Karen may have different ideas about the picture. And colors, obviously. Thanks room_to_breathe . __________________

The graphic will be changed to match the new colours and to give the board a refreshed/new look. You can take this chance to add or remove characters if you wish too or we can work with the same as what you have. Either way we would still appreciate whatever picture suggestions you can provide for us .

I like those Hydrangea Hues, too. I enjoy all the shades of blue, really. But the ones Kimmie listed are particularly good.
If there's a need for a contrasting colour, for headers and such, to be used in a more limited fashion, I quite like the peach colours in Crafted Color, specially EEA299, or F9CDAC and F4A688 in Color Crash. We'll see what Karen has to say when she comes back from her work trip, right? And then there's the matter of castmembers. Any ideas on who needs to be there? __________________

I am sorry to be a little picky here but instead of just naming the colour schemes it would be really appreciated if you could link to them please . While I do love that you are giving us the hex numbers for the colours you like the most, being able to click and see for ourselves is helpful for the team and also any of your posters as it saves anyone from having to search the site to see which one you are talking about.

I didn't know what to look for-I just did what made sense to me.
I can't find the ones I liked, I don't know how Sunny found it. So, I can't give links. __________________

I'd found one of yours Sunny, when I was looking the other day.
I think both of those are gorgeous. __________________

If I'm not mistaken, they use three different colours in the background, yeah?
So I was just thinking that a little peach/salmon could be a nice complement to a mostly blue background. But you have a better colour sense than me. What do you think? __________________
