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!

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

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.

ShelaghTurner · 25/10/2016 12:17

*I'm just glad...

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!
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?!

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.

cozietoesie · 25/10/2016 12:27

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

Dawndonnaagain · 25/10/2016 12:28

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.

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

5Foot5 · 25/10/2016 13:00

And my own posts are a wishy-washy pink but I selected silver Sad

SixtiesChildOfWildBlueSkies · 25/10/2016 13:39

Yep, mine have changed too - lurid minty pea green for OPs, brilliant pink for me. Really don't like it. off to find the sunshades

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 25/10/2016 13:45

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

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 25/10/2016 13:46

tried changing it anyone else had any sucess getting their forest green back?

BolivarAtasco · 25/10/2016 13:48

Whoah! I don't want pink! It's too obvious when reading at work!

MN, please change it back!

It's weird having them both the same colour.

Too much pink.

PatricianOfAnkhMorpork · 25/10/2016 14:00

Another one here. OP is showing up a horrid salmon pink when it should be forest green. I'm meant to be lavender and that still seems to be the same.

it was fine first thing this morning but broke between 7am and about 10.30.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 25/10/2016 14:06

My green isn't as neon, thankfully.

I'm salmon pink!
ptumbi · 25/10/2016 14:11

I hate it - OP posts used to be Grey but are now pink. And my posts are pink too!

And what the heck happened to the so-useful drop-down buttons I used to get at the top of the page for Active, I'm On, and Watching? I've only got the side-buttons for Active and I'm on - and keep having to scroll to the very top or bottom for Threads I'm Watching

Arrgh!

KatherineMumsnet · 25/10/2016 14:28

Hi all,

Thanks for flagging. We have recently changed the colours again after feedback about the first changes being too pale. We will double check with tech on this, though.

Nanny0gg · 25/10/2016 14:31

I'm pink too!

Yeuch! Also can't find where I change them anyway.

Where do I go?

cozietoesie · 25/10/2016 14:32

ptumbi

That should be the 'Viewport Bar' that you're talking about. If you still have the 'Big' Customise, go into it to check that that's not been hidden. (Who knows what may have happened with Customise when people weren't watching.)

cozietoesie · 25/10/2016 14:35

Nanny

To Customise. (It lives next to 'Talk' - in a drop down arrow link - on the desktop site and across the page from 'Talk' - another arrow link - on the mobile site.)

Nanny0gg · 25/10/2016 14:36

Where's Customise? Confused

AuntieStella · 25/10/2016 14:41

"Thanks for flagging. We have recently changed the colours again after feedback about the first changes being too pale. We will double check with tech on this, though."

You appear to have changed colours that were unaffected. My green used to look like that in the screenshot from Anchor and did throughout all the earlier shenanigans. It hadn't changed and so did not need putting right. It was 'right' throughout..

It now looks like that in the screenshot posted by Beyond

Which I am finding increasingly difficult.

Is there any reason why colours cannot be restored to exactly what they were before the fiddling? Both rounds of fiddling!
