Update to webchat guest colours

[JessicaMumsnet]

Hi,
This is a heads up that we're soon to introduce a change to the colours used to highlight posts on desktop and mobile.

If you've been around long enough to have the old style customised colours this won't affect you.

For newer users - we needed to add some new web chat guest colours and retire the awful mustard yellow we used in the past on desktop webchats. As a result of that we then needed to update our other colours too.

Thanks all

If you've been around long enough to have the old style customised colours this won't affect you.

I do have the old style customised colours, I think, but green has still gone that horrible luminous colour. What on earth was the rationale for changing it? Please go back to forest green.

Oh actually never mind I think I've got my custom colours now I've posted (although i'all never be able to change them but that's OK) anyway I'm not the apricot that other people are saying they have

I share your pain Memoires.

They have, true to their word, left us our customised colours names but changed the actual colours.

FFS

I like the strong decustomised ones, but I currently have special guest 2 which is just hurting my eyes. It's definitely not the same as it was before, though the green I'd picked was similar.

Can I decustomise my highlight colours?

I have the "old style customised colours", but it hasn't stopped my posts changing to a particularly gruesome shade of salmon pink

Seriously, if we're stuck with wimpy pathetic pastel crap, we might as well go the whole hog and defect to Netmums and get glittery shit too.

Not all pastel crap - select 'forest green' to see luminous crap!

but I HAD forest green selected, and now it's gone vomitous salmon!!

Yes, mine is supposedly forest green too

Although I can customise on the desktop site, it doesn't work on the mobile site so have got the awful green colour. How can I get rid of this??

Nooooooooo 😩
My colours were customised so I didn't have the original colour change problem, but now I do and it is VILE.
If this is a rouse to get us all using the App, then it's rhubarb.
I don't like the App.

I can't customise on the iPad (I'm assuming no one can as I've been here for eons) so I'm stuck with luminous green. I can't read it. It's too bright! Please do something. Please at least look at how it looks on safari! I actually cannot read any OPs now; it hurts my eyes too much.

I'm on a iPad musicposy and the customise button is the drop down arrow next to talk ( thanks to the pp who posted that)

However Forest green is now vile salmon and I'm a bit scared to try the other colours.

I'm only on my phone as have left iPad at home but now have green OP which looks much easier to see so I'm happy thank you

Oh no! My customised colours had gone back to what I had before ie a forest green for op on my phone, so I was happy this morning, but now I have gone onto my iPad I have a horrible luminous green for op. I don't understand why it has changed as it hadn't previously changed on my iPad at all, only on my phone. How do I get back to my nice forest green?

been here since 2011, customised on my Laptop so that OP was purple and I was forest green, all mine come up now as salmon pink, its horrid, how do I get my green back. I am not on any apps or mobiles just my Laptop. help

I like the green. Much better than the pastel crap. Thank you MN!

Thank you, BestIsWest! I'd been ages scrolling through "MyMumsnet" to no avail.

I too am now "forest green" vile salmon but at least it's better than the luminous one.

Using Chrome on a Windows 10 laptop, if that's relevant. The op is still deep purple coloure but my forest green has gone salmon pink, its foul.

now I've thought about it my coulors have swapped I used to be green (custom) and am now pink but I actually don't mind it and it's much better than the barely here pastel shades

OK, what the actual fuck?

My posts now seem to be in ill baby shit colour.

Fuck sake.

I thought oldies with already customised colours were getting to keep them?

Mine just changed to the worst colours I've ever seen. They're so bad it's like someone is taking the piss.

Same here OvO and I still don't know whether to tinker with them or not.

Mine were customised. Now they're not :-(
