Hard to read

Generally speaking the boards are hard to read - at least for me. The colors seem to clash to much. The teal-green-light brown mixed with black hurt my eyes (like seriously watery eyes the works - i have shit eyes).

That said - to be able to type this in a way that was easy to read, I had to hit inspect element and change the fonts colors to easily readable color. The #aa947c is way to dark. Maybe try #e9d4bd instead.

While I like the directions the boards has been going/community beta this feels like a step backwards as a re-design. At least from a comfort standpoint.

Check your monitor; I'm having absolutely no problem reading it.

Reading the details under the title in the thread list page is the only problem I have, it's way too small imo

Agreed; I think if the text were slightly brighter, it would be easier to concentrate on.

Yes, I am blue/yellow colorblind and this new board is near impossible for me to read without a lot of help. The old color scheme was perfect for me to read. At least add a light/dark mode so that people who have trouble seeing these colors can read it again.
