My monitor blinks a yellow tint sometimes and it's all your fault for your post, fix it!:p

Cancelling her service cuz the font is gray... Somebody should spam her with Geocities links. Then she'd have a fieldtrip of complaining to do.:lol:

It's not as bad as the nuts who do lime green text on an aqua blue background with a purple-gray watermark through it.

You could have shortened that to "most Myspace pages".

Ugh. People like that should be shot :p

What's worse, is that instead of declaring a simple one-color background...some idiots will actually create a 1x1 pixel image, and then "tile" it. Then they can't understand why their page takes so long to load :rolleyes:

I saw mustard yellow text on an army-green background once... and the person was advertising their own Web design services. No thanks!

You have to be kidding! I've never heard of anyone doing that. :roll: Honestly, I'm just gobsmacked.

Yowza, see I design pages so that there EASY TO READ, do color blind people pick combinations like that?

[thegiraffe]

do color blind people pick combinations like that?

Well, if you wanna get technical...

If they're green/yellow colorblind, they likely wouldn't see a thing - just a solid background (the yellow text on green background).
