Which background color
« on: December 21, 2007, 12:47:53 PM »
So I finally got to pitch the intranet site design to the guys in charge and they liked it (weeee).  One thing they did ask was to get a background color that wasn't white.  Now I'm trying to keep a nice contrast between the background and foreground colors so that the next is nice and easy to read.  Now of this black on blue crap that is currently used all over the place.

I'm trying to decide on which color to go with.  These are what I consider the top contenders.  I'm including white as a comparison.

I must be colorblind because the only ones that don't look completely white to me are ghostwhite and whitesmoke. Or maybe my monitor is just crappy.

Dude... I honestly don't think the difference is that big.  Who cares what the background is going to be between those choices??

Difference might not be that big, but it's big enough to start a random conversation on entropysink about.


Hmmm... On this computer they all look the same.
