MN has made me pink and I am outraged at the stereotyping!

I feel that I have been taken over by aliens.

All my posts are now pink.

And OP posts are now the blue that used to be the colour on MNHQ posts.

Confused

It’s hurting my eyes, and now I have a blinding headache.

Not a good change, MN!!!!

☹️ 🥺

I have no idea what all this is about, nothing has changed colour for me 🤨 Have I been overlooked?

Think yourself lucky!
I'm all disorientated 🤩

NotBadConsidering · 18/09/2025 22:55

Now it’s green again after I’ve changed settings but it’s as though someone has put Mumsnet through the wash 500 times and leached all the colour out.

Petitchat · 18/09/2025 22:55

There was no warning and I had just gone onto new meds!!!!!
Thought it was those!!
🤔

NotBadConsidering · 18/09/2025 22:51

Are we all pink by default? It used to be pink, before it turned green. I remember once a TRA posting a screenshot on Twitter of a post that was pink so it identified them as the poster (they’re not very bright). Then it was changed to be green for OP and green for own posts.

By god, that’s an awful pink😩

Didn't there used to be a "Watch thread" button at both the top and bottom of the thread list? The one on the top was what I used to click first thing upon opening an interesting thread, now it's not there...... Or is it the Mandela effect? 😅 😳

At the top of the thread the Watch button is now on the lower right of the OP for some reason.

I'm more bemused than outraged; give me the green OP posts over the blue any day of the week. The blue is just awful.

Yes, the blue is very medical/ dentisty feeling
And the pink is not even a good pink!

I hateses pink.
<very cross>

ETA, it looks so hideous that it puts me off posting.

Manxexile · 18/09/2025 21:22

What colour is this?

[Edit Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!]

UnmarketableTomato · 18/09/2025 21:21

I went dark because the bright white was giving me a headache. Now I don't know who is who.

EchoedSilence · 18/09/2025 21:15

I changed mine to grey.

Is it just me, but I cant find the unfollow thread.

I can only see unfollow topic.

Now I really am confused.

I think this has now become "unwatch" and is at the bottom of the OP.

Why did this have to change?

I like pink

Feejoah · 18/09/2025 21:10

Yikes - this blue is really hard to look at. Will help me spend less time on here I guess.

induces nausea - seriously

may just have to have pale green and pale grey

I have posted negative comment on site stuff.

I just dont believe anyone actually sat down with a colour chart and said lets only have candy stripe colours.

I tried green & grey - still hideous, partly because behind the scenes is another colour: a dead, flat grey which is put up against the 'grey' when you quote someone.

I didn't know there had even been a survey!

Had there been, I would have opted for the Paisley background.

There was a survey?

The banner and button blue just drills into your eyeballs and all the other colours look washed out

SnoopyPajamas · 18/09/2025 20:10

The old shades were a lot easier on the eyes. These new ones feel like eye strain waiting to happen. Too bright or something. Eurgh.

That pink has genuinely given me a headache. With the exception of the blue and pink all the other colours blend themselves in with the other posts. Wonder if this is why we now have helpful "your/OPs post" at the top now.

LittleNoosh · 18/09/2025 20:26

I hate the lower contrast where there is white writing. It makes it harder to read.

I think you might want to educate yourself about people with visual impairments being met by web designers.

I doubt that the changes made would meet web accessibility standards.
