Websites shouldn't use colors so much. They should be bolder designed

Colors on the web are really hard to get right because most people in the world use shitty laptops with shitty TN panels that fuck up the colors.

Then there is also the fact that 1 out of 10 men have some color distortion problem (not necessarily daltonism).

I make most of my websites on black/white because of that. If I can't come up with a good reason why to use colors I don't use colors.

Websites should be compliant with HTML 1.0

lossless at 550k
get on my level

if Jow Forums was architected correctly, that wouldn't affect anything (eg: read+writes from a S3 bucket)

The original Mac 128 was supposed to be color, but they changed it to monochrome because nobody could figure out a color scheme that didn't look like Bozo the Clown (see pic).

Hard to tell which category of user controls certain parts belong to. 3/10
Too much in 2000 pic, 4/10
Too little in 2014, it appears well organized due to category buttons, but the actual functionality of the site is garbage, 3/10

This physically pains my eyes

looks like an invoice

That and monochrome was preferred for business software due to its sharpness. Later on, Steve Jobs insisted on the NeXT being monochrome for same reason.

if you have a mac you can turn on grayscale mode

I like this.

Those tabs looks horrendous
Github already is mostly colourless, except the blue links.

>phobe posters are still SEETHING

I agree.
It's nice and all, but it's like retina searing.
I made it better and readable.

Yeah that tone definitely helps.
I'm fine with the design, its just the searing white that hurts. I have a bright monitor

>websites should have more contrast
yes
>websites shouldn't use colors
no

Your displays are just set to too bright

t.boomer that designed windows 10 settings

10% brightness.
My display is not set too bright.
White on Black is just retina searing.

Notice how only Applel uses it?

What program did you use?

2000 was peak design

Color can enhance the design beyond just looking pretty. Like when youre signing up to a website and you enter an invalid email so the input border turns red

He most likely used PNGquant (lossy PNG compressor) and is simply lying about it being lossless. Open your image in one tab and his in another, and quickly switch back and forth between the two. You should see a clear difference between the Windows 2000 logo on your image and his image.

>1 byte decrease
haha

>quickly switch back and forth
what an autist

i think hiro should include pngquant in the png upload process of most boards excluding ones like /s/
