Why has MN changed colour?

[GeniuneWorkOfFart]

It's awful! About 10 mins ago I refreshed a page and the blue banners changed to a much brighter shade, and the OP is highlighted in grey instead of green, and I hate it. It's too bright. What's happening??

Galaxy A55, latest version of Chrome.

Oh, no, it's 'orrible! Absolutely 'orrible! I want my previous colours back please!

This shade of blue must have been chosen by someone who dims their screen because it's positively neon, along with flashing and dancing adverts it's all too much for my poor eyes!

It is horrendous. I much prefer the green. Why don't they warn us about such changes.

Oh no now my posts are a horrible pink colour ☹️.

It really is crazily bright.
Maybe it's to deter us all from late-night MNing? It would keep us all awake so we have to log off early.

I actually hate it, it's uncomfortably bright. And I have my blue light filter on, and my screen brightness very low already.

Not happy Jan.

It’s gross and too bright.

MN, why haven't you given a better choice of colours in settings? At least give us the choice of two 'old style' colours instead of the range of too-similar ones which we're now forced to choose from. And no way is 'magenta' magenta on my screen. It's sickly pale orange.

Why on earth did you do this? Who would've asked for these exact colours? What did you ask in your survey?

The old navy and sage green were iconic, why change them to this neon cornflower shade? If it's not broken don't fix it..there are other areas you could have focused on improving instead 🙏

Awful. Why do things have to be changed when it was fine before.

Ooooh my post is pink , not a fan but I like the 'my post' on my post

I have never wrote the word post so many times in such a short sentence !

My own posts used to be highlighted in purple. I don't have good eyesight so this was a good standout colour. Now it's changed to pale pink and the choice of other colours are all pale.
Also I don't want to see the OP's posts highlighted.

MNHQ for goodness sake please consider your posters before you make more unwanted unnecessary changes.

I love it!

I did also so no need for so need.

Was that not available for everyone?

I like the blue

Oh, but not the peach……

I need to make a post to see the 'my post' colour! But we can change that in settings, no?

I’m not keen

I would just like to say that I like the new blue

It's giving me migraine. I'm going to have to leave.
It's as bad as the Ravelry rebrand. That was actually triggering fits in people with epilepsy. It gave me a 12 day headache.

I can't be doing with all these icky old lady pastels. It's disgusting.

And who needs OP & 'My posts' to be written above every relevant post? The colours were to make them easy to spot - not that that works now because they're too similar, leaving out the bilious orange & the MNHQ blue.

This is really making things worse, not better.

Please add a watch button at the bottom of the page the user experience is now horrible

It’s given me a headache so I’ve gone to dark mode but this is a bit too dark

could we have a muted choice?

Looks great to me!

Also, the screen sort of flares or flashes when scrolling.
Awful, and hurts my eyes.

I thought I was logged out or something 😅.
