Fucking hell, what the FUCK have you done to the COLOURS?

I agree, just put it back to how it was.

My posts went pink this morning, they used to be silver grey. Just waiting for my purple OPs to be changed without my permission!

Even when I select Silver, it's no longer anything on any sort of greyscale, it's pink too!

I don't like the new colours.

I browse MN when I'm at work at the previous colour schemes were muted enough to not draw attention to my screen. Not any more.

So I changed the OP's posts to "Forest Green" which turned them bright peach. Slight improvement but still awful.
Now I've changed them to Olive, which is ok, but a bit too similar to MNHQ blue and nowhere near as good as the forest green I had in the first place :(

I have the opposite problem, they are so pale that I can barely recognise there are colours at all.

Oh my god the GREEEEEEN!!!!
It literally hurts my eyes - seriously.
I still have lavender for my own posts and blue for MNHQ, but that lurid green for the OP's post is just hideous.
PLEASE tone it down.

Fids - exactly! I have no intention of going into Customise and trying to fix this myself in case I lose Classic in the process!

MNHQ /Techs just need to PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS - there was NO need to mess everyone else's colours up! Still

Thank you for the info about the little mysterious arrow there.

Yes, I had indeed chosen Forest Green, as I suspected. It shows up in my threads as a sort of glowing pink/mauve/lilac. My eyes!

Everytime I read threads on MN, the colours have changed.

I used to have darkish green for OP and lavender for me.

I now have 80s Peach (despite my customise drop down claiming forest green) and no idea what my post will appear as. On my mobile I had salmon pink also appearing but can't remember where (and too lazy to walk back downstairs and check)

This is an almighty cock up, even by MN standards - it's been going on for days now, and no fix in sight, just more tinkering and ballsing it all up even more.

Surely it's time to stop trying g to put patch-on-patch-on-patch and actually build a website that works?

The good news is, if you were able to customise your colours before you can still do so - click the arrow next to 'talk' in the top left and choose 'customise'.

The bad news is, although the colour names are the same, the colours themselves no longer pay bear any relationship to their name. Just for fun, do have a look at 'silver' it is now vile salmon pink. 'Olive' is a not unpleasant pale duck egg aqua.

A knowledgeable poster on the other thread says the hex codes (whatever they are) are all buggered up

And to add insult to injury, the Saintly Stratters is vom pink on this thread. Which is wrong on so many levels.

Despite an MNHQer saying if we'd been around a while (yes) and customised our colours (tick), then nothing would change - no tick, bloody great cross.

Also went from forest green to vomitous sickly salmon. Still have my lavender but on quick scrolling they're too similar. Not sure about changing my lavender in case I get something worse. Or lose Classic

I think I had forest green too. It was lovely and easy to read with my glasses on. Now the script in the pinky/lilac OP posts appears red to me. Really want my green back...

I'm scared of trying to change any of it.

This is to do with the changes they made for guest posters, see here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2748703-Update-to-webchat-guest-colours

It's a right fucking mess, IMO.
My beautiful forest green colour for OP's posts is now vomitous salmon, and my own silver posts have taken on a pinkish hue. I can live with the second, the first is DISGUSTING.

As yet, no word. But I'm Not Happy.

(Or 'customise options'?)

I found myself mysteriously logged out of MN today when I visited the site, and when I logged on I found the colours have all changed in my threads.

I had the OP's posts in green and nothing else coloured. Now I seem to have shades of purple and pink and I don't see any way to change settings.

(How can I get to 'settings'?)

The green on the mobile site us alright, the pink OTOH is a bit too much

I selected forest green from the customise options but it is showing up as salmon pink

Look if you are going to make drastic changes like this you need to do a consultation or something ffs.

My OP is in forest green - I quite like it. I thought the point was that we weren't having customised colours anymore, how come we're now seeing different?

Skin toned. That's what it is. t's the same colour as that mum in the pic on the blog link, over there >>>

Oh god my eyes! That green is even worse.

Ps. Put your phone on charge stratters it's making me anxious.

And I thought colours had specific meanings. I have this on the desktop, but OP is a nice green on the mobile site.
