Forum Authority - color concept.

[Twisted Sister]

I just created this quick concept of mixing colors with the original blue, my goal is to try and make the forum color scheme more fulfilling without taking its originality away. Opinions appreciated.

It's a nice color, my favorite color is purple, however I like the look of the shades.

I quite like it. It's nice, it's something that is relaxing and calm. The blue is fantastic! You did chose a great colour.

The one above. I don't know why, I just prefer it.

Voted for concept theme.

Will you be adding more colors to it rather than making it different shades of blue?

I made my vote on the poll. Saru does have a good point though. I would love to see some sort of colour picker maybe.

I'm not entirely sure how I would go about doing so without disregarding the forums color scheme. For example.. Forum Promotions forum is in somewhat of a blue color scheme, however has mixed blues. If you mixed in some red, it wouldn't fit in very well or would give the forum a sort of different Identity. I think it's also good to have the colored content within the forum similar to the background, for an overall nice combination. If my forums background was a blank color like black/grey it would go with any colored content.

Thank you for voting! My response to @Santa Saru should cover this question too 🙂

I prefer the concept theme. I think it looks nicer and gives a better first impression. Best of luck with choosing a theme.

It's a good concept, however, I would reduce the opacity of your transition layer to make it blend a lot smoother.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll work with different opacity's to see what works best.
