Black or White Giant Bomb?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Black is beautiful, baby. Actually, I just find it easier to read over extended time periods. White always makes my eyes go bleary after a few paragraphs unless the font is just right.
White for now but I agree with those that said black is easier on the eyes. White is new though so I'll use it for a little bit.
I like white sites, but the white is TOO white. There's not enough variation in shades to make sections of the page stick out, so it just looks like a wall of white. Darker websites seem to be easier on the eyes in general, although scientific studies say the opposite. I don't think the team accounted for people having a contrast beyond 40% or something. I usually have mine about 70%. If you lower the contrast everything starts to pop out at you and then it looks ok. I say just make the grays deeper on the white layout.
I'm kind of switching between the two.. The main site looks pretty bad in white. However I like the forums in white.
The white really needs something to break up all the whiteness... a little more contrast. I can hardly read the grey text in the forum stuff down the bottom, either.
I pick black, not only to be more racially sensitive but also because the white site hurts my eyes. A lot.
