Why does everyone find my tastes in colours whacky?

My site is updated with a new colour scheme.

Is this good or does it still promote eye strain? :LOL:

I really do like the colours I pick. What is everyones taste in colour?

Can you guys give me examples of what you like?

I was making an article about [H]'s latest article about how it isn't in nVIDIA's right to change the rules of benchmarks (only devs have the rights to that) but I scrapped my article and decided to work on my colour schemes so people can read my website comfortably.

Thanks
 
I am slightly color blind and I think your color scheme is slightly whacky :)
 
I think you're just using too many different colours. And the background isn't neutral enough. I try to find some sites which have chosen the colours the way I like them. I'll paste urls later.
 
There's not enough contrast between your text colors and your background color, which makes it hard to read. And you've got a different text color for everything on the site, which is a bit busy and confusing, and just generally unnecessary. It takes more design effort, but there are better ways of setting things as belonging to different categories than by making them a different color. Some stuff might be good to make a different color; links, of course, and the title at the top of the site. But generally subtle variations on one or two theme colors are more eye-pleasing than turning everything pink, orange and green.

Another note, sans-serif fonts are easier to read (for p text) on a computer screen than serif fonts. Serifs are ok in larger font sizes, like in headlines, and in general give a different feel. But the reason you use Times New Roman to write papers in Word is not because it looks better in Word, it's because it looks better when you print it out. (Printers are much higher resolution than monitors, is the difference.)
 
Don't use magenta. Ever! Plain and simple, it gives people headaches!

Dave H was right, the fewer colours you use the better. Look at B3D, it's two colours plus white, and looks quite classy. The forums use different shades of the same colour, which is also classy.

In short, less is more when it comes to colours!
 
there are sites that will give you a good color combo given an initial color. these sites typically give you like 2 or 3 colors from the main color you want your site to be. ill try looking for a site, cant think of the top of my head right now.

later,
 
Oh, and please don't use 'mailto:' links that aren't clearly marked as such.When you put a "Contact" labelled link in your navigation bar, I expect it to lead to another page (like it does in this forum), and not open up my mail application.
 
BTW: Why can't Mozilla support "../style.css" and such links that link backwards?

Also how do I force word-wrap in my code that works with Mozilla?

Mozilla is giving me more trouble than IE now. :(
 
Everything fixed.

Changed colours again. Better?

If not, can someone just tell me what colours I should use? :D
 
The red lines on the blue background looks strange to me...
OK, I am slightly color blind so you may want to ignore me :p
 
The "Contents" heading is too wide for the navigation bar on the left when using Opera (or better, the navigation bar is not wide enough). It's fine in IE.
