I'd really like to once again encourage a change of colors on the website.

I use Stylish to overcome some of the problems, but I was just on the Wiki and was reminded how poor the color choice is, since my Stylish didn't change the colors there.

The "dim" green-color for links is really hard to read for some people, including me, and I'm not even color-blind.  (That's not the only problem, though.)

If you don't understand the problem, please try googling words like the following.

web accessibility


I'd personally like to see a more friendly, modern "web app" color scheme, like Google'a search results. (There are other good examples, too, but my guess is that Google has put a lot more research hours into coming up with something that works very well.)

It's no accident that many of the major websites have the types of color schemes they use.

Regarding the color of the links, I have personally spent hours in the past just to try and figure out another color than #849684. I wasn't able to find another color that would fit. Tatoeba's design was based on the green color, and it's hard to change the color of the link without changing the whole color scheme of the website.

I suggest that you post about this problem on the Wall, and also post screenshots of color(s) that you believe would be more appropriate. If there is a general approval towards certain colors then we will make the necessary changes.

Also note that the wiki is independant from the website. The changes of the CSS on tatoeba.org will not affect wiki.tatoeba.org.
