These are NOT good colors to use as the background for your website\/myspace page\/blog\/whatever.\u00a0 Personally, I’m not much in day-glo pink or hot pink.\u00a0 Generally not much of a pink person.\u00a0 However, normal shades of pink don’t have me screeching and hiding my face, screaming, my eyes.\u00a0 my eyes.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n However, this shade of pink<\/span> and this shade of pink<\/span> should never, ever be used as a fricking background color.\u00a0 It’s too much. As an accent, worked into the color scheme…hey, that can work.\u00a0 I’ve seen some people use bright colors very well.\u00a0 But as the background color?\u00a0 As in… 99.99 % of the color on your site is so bright it scorches the retinas?\u00a0 And then make matters worse, snow-blinding white is used as the font? A lot of us spend a great deal of time looking at computer screens.\u00a0 That tires the eyes out.\u00a0 Fatigued eyes don’t handle overly bright colors very well.\u00a0 They don’t handle blinking flashing things well, either, but that’s not today’s rant.<\/span><\/p>\n When I’m curious about a book, I check out the author’s site.\u00a0 If I find something about the book on the site that interests me, I buy.\u00a0 But that’s assuming I actually make it thru the website to find the info about the book.<\/span><\/p>\n You go and flash that shade of pink at me, or an equally virulent shade of green, orange or yellow, I’m not going to search out the book.\u00a0 The only response you’re going to get from me is for me to run away, click away, whimpering in pain and determined to never, ever visit the site again. No book is worth the headache that comes from colors that bright-yep, I’m talking actual headaches just from lingering a few seconds on a site with too much in the way of wicked bright colors.<\/span><\/p>\n
