I'm trying to colorize header tags and make long text more readable.

What do you think of these colors (from the default GNOME palette)? Do they look good? I'm not a designer, so I need your opinion on the defaults until I implement user settings.

also not sure about the white theme, as I'm currently using a dark one, which is comfortable for me to read.

yesterday spent all the day for combination of 3 colors, lol but still in doubts.

I like the dark variant, but I’d prefer the light one to be more yellow-ish

@byte agreed 100%

I can't say that like this Yellow, reminds me urine, but for some reasons it's more comfortable in reading than any other tried before. I'm testing it on iMac monitor.

Also, if somebody looking for palettes, here is old website I like:

— https://www.colourlovers.com/

But in Yoda case, trying to operate with native GNOME palette, until rewrite this browser in any other framework, like Iced. So my creativity pretty limited, as the project goal - to be native for Adwaita environment.

I would even prefer not to use any custom colors (unlike other GTK browsers I know). Colors can cause issues for people with color blindness, but honestly, reading in geminispace something larger than 'tweet' makes my brain feel damaged without the colorization feature.

This is your browser? It looks *great*!

@ps Colors only affect colorblind people if they are required to distinguish between things. But if they are there *in addition* to something else, like size, then it should be perfectly fine, as long as there's enough contrast between the background and foreground.
