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.

I like it too

Agree - there contrast doesn’t look right

The OP is pale blue for me.
Problem is I can't remember what colour it was before. 🫣

I suppose this will at least encourage me to look at MN a lot less.

Lilac and peach for me...... Vile

Green and everyone else was purple

There's a link to a survey at the top of the page which asks for feedback on the new layout

Can’t we strike a deal? Keep this new colour but get rid of the awful advert at the top of the page.

What MN shouldn't have done is change so much all at once. Change one thing per month, people can cope.

Eh?! Only posting to see what colour I am!

So the OP is pale blue. I'm pale pink.
Are the colours different for everyone or is it one of those things that different people see different colours?
Like with the dress that some saw blue/ black, others saw gold.

Another bizarre thing is that I've set my posts to 'grey'. But look what happens when I quote someone: it comes up in real grey. Bleurgh!

there was a thread a while ago asking for feedback on a new design. Obviously mine was ignored! A purple box saying Orginal Poster is a complete waste of space (and irritating) if the posters posts are already coloured.

I like it!

I’m pink, but OP is bright purple? It’s very bright.

Argh so bright

Revolting, isn't it?

Cornflower blue belongs in wildflower gardens not on Mumsnet ! Far too bright and not accessible!! Change it back ! Please !

I've tried green for the OP. Well, I say "green" - the shade is positively homeopathic in strength.

🤣🤣

You can change it in your settings

I thought I'd broken it with a post! But I really like it 🤩

It's at the far right of the line of options underneath the OP, & there's a small tick box under the Message box I'm typing into now.

Also, where's the UnwatchThread option gone? Like, for example, this on!

And the Report function STILL hasn't got Troll Hunting on its list of reasons for the report!

That really would be useful.

Please put Watch Thread back at the bottom of the thread.
Leave the option to do it on the OP as well if you like (although it's the thread we watch, not the OP).
Hate the colours.
