Is it aesthetic or ideological hatred?

I noticed it being green earlier. Green is objectively the best color. It should go back to that.

Will there be more flaming now? Psychological experiment in progress.

Comrade, the red is OK.

Well I, for one, just want to see the words change black. ;)

But I'm amenable to changing things to make folks happy.

Is it aesthetic or ideological hatred? — Janus

I associate red with fire alarms, emergencies, and communism.

also much harder to sneakily conceal in the office cubicle where I happen to be indentured for a few months.

Ah, so occupational, emotional, ideological and practical. Not aesthetic, though?

It's the latter that I like it for. But alas, that's merely aesthetic. Blue was a nice, soothing color.

We’re not lab rats. I demand more respect. :nerd:

yeah I also just hate it. :rage:

Fairy Nuff

Aqua-teal, please. Easy on the eyes.

Hmm. The Tragedy of the Common Template.

At present, it's decided by the Big Fat Dictator.

Privatise it. Make the choice of colour a user option.

Or do as @Hanover would, and have a vote once every four years to choose one colour that we all have to put up with for the interim.

DJ change the tune!

It’s relatively easy to modify the css code of your browser and override the color, should the red remain and be unpleasant for you, FYI.

Much as I subjectively agree with you, green being my favorite color, I have a hard time defending it objectively. That doesn’t mean it can’t be done, however.

Some people seem to think that certain opinions, like the choice of color is entirely subjective and therefore it can’t be discussed. They get angry if you dare to suggest that their cherished individual choice may have psychological reasons that originate outside of themselves. Often another color, a different piece of music or even another taste for food might have been an objectively better choice if we had not been biased through our habits.

Since we are used to seeing one color in a particular context, we are unfortunately not able to look at it objectively anymore. Maybe is obsessed with the Red Scare whereas nostalgically remembers his comrades.

To find the objectively best color the site dictator would have to clarify to himself what the purpose of this site might be. Is it just to make the poor members feel good, or is to provoke them to write interesting comments? At least the red color has incited us to contribute to this thread, but that may be a rather unfortunate outcome…

Red is bold. Philosophy is bold. I think it suits the forum.

It's also often a bloodbath in here, so that's fair warning to the n00bs.

I visit on various devices and browsers, life’s too short.... :fear:

BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red represents Republicans, blue Democrats. @Hanover should be thrilled!

Aqua-teal, please. Easy on the eyes. — tim wood

I don't give a rat's ass what color it is as long as it's not teal or aqua. Red and blue are the world's most popular colors. Only .003% of the world's population actually like teal or aqua, and they are all very sick people.

What's black and white and red all over? A burning nun.

Aristotle should agree that green is the best color because it's the (ironically) golden mean, the middle color, neither warm nor cool, but perfectly balanced.

Is that a statement or command?

Just an opinion.

Wasn't it black and green yesterday..? Is it just changing colors daily..? Lol. I liked the black and green.

Lmao, why are they sick people? Wattt.

I feel like red is literally my least favorite color.

Get angry folks!

All hail our new Chinese overlords!

Did China buy us ought? Quickly, time to start a reading group on Trotsky, he knew what's up...
