This color scheme is terrible.

Simply stating that the color scheme does not work for you is unlikely to get it changed. I recommend explaining the specific problems with the color scheme, and suggesting an alternative that would be more readable, so any Rioters encountering this thread can use the feedback productively.

I like it. It's comfortable on the eyes

To be honest, I think the part that I dislike most is the background. The platform lacks depth and color, and having a background that's basically the same color as the rest of the site elements makes things feel a little...drab.

If we look at the rest of the site, as a point of comparison, the background (generally black) is in direct opposition to the foreground (generally white). The elements on the page within both the foreground and the background are mostly very colorful, so the site feels vibrant and alive.

When compared to the Boards we can really see the dichotomy here. The color scheme of the background is black and dark blue, and the color scheme of the foreground is black and dark blue. The elements on the page within the foreground are generally brown or blue, there is very little color variation outside that spectrum.

How about, I don't know, black on white?

This is rgb(176, 156, 135) — basically a brownish gray— on rgb(2, 22, 26)— a dark blue.

That's about half as much contrast as there could be. AT LEAST bump the text up to something like in the 200s.

I don't see what blue and tan have to do with Riot, anyway. I thought their color was red.

Your feedback is useless but I agree. I hate all colors around 180° hue. And I hate 300° even more!

I reworked the style into a dark-blue scheme. Would that be better?
