I'm salmon pink!

and I'm usually forest green, is there a reason, I checked my setting and apart from the fact that the colour currently in use isn't even listed, Forest Green is still ticked! Any advice gratefully received!
Thank you!

Another one here whose settings still say Forest Green but I actually have that horrid salmon colour. Why!!??

I selected the colours I use because I found them easier for reading purposes, I use a mac and have to use the mouse to highlight and follow things as it is. This Salmon makes that hard for me.

A 'highlighter' to the screen is exactly it. For me. Smile

BertieBotts · 25/10/2016 12:26

Oh. Just to be a pain, I like the pastels much better Grin

My green feels like it is leaping off the page and making my eyes feel funny.

BertieBotts · 25/10/2016 12:23

Mine is the same as Beyond's suddenly!

Argh! It's like someone has taken a highlighter to my screen Confused Looks awful! I think it's only a few shades brighter than the old one, but this can't be good for people with a visual impairment, surely?!

BeyondReasonablyDoubts · 25/10/2016 12:21

This is mine btw, just in case we are actually talking about different colour changes!

I'm salmon pink!

*I'm just glad...

ShelaghTurner · 25/10/2016 12:17

I don't give a toss what colours they are, in yet glad they're strong strong enough to actually see rather than the insipid tones we were stuck with the last time they were changed.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 25/10/2016 12:17

I'm using a laptop and it's the same in Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Also on my phone.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 25/10/2016 12:10

I should be dark green, I'm now some sort of lavender colour. Looking on customise nothing has changed there. Not happy! Much prefer the green.

ssssm · 25/10/2016 12:09

Oh but my own posts are still the right colour apparently :)

ssssm · 25/10/2016 12:09

Same here! I came here to say just this - settings still say Forest Green but OP's posts are pink :(

Piscivorus · 25/10/2016 12:08

I usually have Original Poster in silver-grey and me in lavender. Those are still showing on my settings but the OP seems to be in a slightly paler version of my lavender which is a bit confusing although not the end of the world.
Nobody ever likes change though

Stormtreader · 25/10/2016 12:07

me too

nemno · 25/10/2016 12:05

Me too. My customise settings are as I wish and I resaved them but all is still awry. Laptop Windows 10 and Chrome here.

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 25/10/2016 12:03

I too am salmon pink but should be forest green.

I don't like it.

MistressMolecules · 25/10/2016 12:02

Beyond, it isn't hurting my eyes but it is difficult to see for me also. I use overlays on my computer for visual issues and now I can't actually differentiate between OP and other posters as the colour isn't obvious being so pale.

BeyondReasonablyDoubts · 25/10/2016 11:58

"The stronger colours are much easier to see if you have a visual impairment."

Not all visual impairments are the same... (it really is hurting my eyes!)

BeyondReasonablyDoubts · 25/10/2016 11:56

I'm usually forest green and now I'm a lurid radioactive green that is hurting my eyes!

Please mn, can you stop pissing about with the settings, just for one day? Grin

Thingvellir · 25/10/2016 11:42

I'm on the mobile site. Please don't take this the wrong way OP, but to me you are beige Grin. But you should be green....

UptownFlunk · 25/10/2016 11:42

Same here - really annoying!

MistressMolecules · 25/10/2016 11:40

It is awful, can barely read on the salmon which is what all my OP posts have become instead of the green which I can read on, I am still lavender. And I can't find my settings to change it. Please put it back to normal!!

MrsWickens · 25/10/2016 11:34

Same here. Settings say Forest Green for OP posts but they are pink!

thetemptationofchocolate · 25/10/2016 11:32

I just went to settings and tried to change the colour. OPs posts are still pink.
I really don't like pink!

thetemptationofchocolate · 25/10/2016 11:29

I am pink too and should be green. It's still showing as green in my settings.
