Metafilter Colours. August 25, 2015 10:49 AM Subscribe
(Or, "colors", if you prefer..)
While wearing my standard-version MetaFilter t-shirt a few days ago, I offhandedly commented to my husband that I liked the sort-of lime-ish green colour of the "Filter" portion of text. He was totally perplexed because, apparently, the colour is NOT green it's yellow. WHAT??
According to him, the same "yellow" applies across the entire MetaFilter site - on the old theme - in the "filter" of MetaFilter, the "talk" of MetaTalk, the "Fan" of FanFare, etc. To me, all of those are a shade of green - not a lime green, but a yellow-y-green.
Can someone please confirm that one of us is right? Does the logo/text always look yellow/green for you on all your various screens?
(Disclosure: one of us - specifically me - may or may not have some "colour seeing issues", but is still totally positive that she's right on this one.)

I've always thought it was chartreuse. Or, yes, baby-shit yellow.

I always used to think of it as yellow, but I think the colours in the modern theme are not the same as the colours in the classic theme. It used to be yellow. Now it is green.

following on from togdon above: old colour was yellow, new colour is greenish (CB and CC are about the same in old colour, so R=G so yellow, roughly, while in new colour, C7 > 9C so there's significantly more green).

Color Picker says that the “Filter” color is FDFB93, which puts it somewhere in the area around “lemon” in the xkcd color survey. (Adobe Kuler’s list of related monochromatic colors)

Bingo. I only learned it wasn't green earlier this year.

Skippy. Jif. Probably all of them.

Don't mean to interrogate you, but two general questions about your colorblindness, Zarq: How does yours work? It's something about rods and cones, right? And dudes having fewer?
The second one is if there are any general webdesign tricks that make things easier for you to read? I know to avoid green/red contrast on active stuff, but I'm wondering what else I might miss. (Is there a web tool that can evaluate this stuff automatically?)

As I'm Mr. VioletU, I'll report back that I was considering Jif/Skippy for the brand. Costco natural peanut butter is multicoloured because of less blending; the base is the light brown (on preview, tan! Thank you LobsterMitten), the specles are a darker brown with a slight red tint.
At Science North I passed the coloured peg ordering test while VioletU had an ordering that I considered ... interesting.
Wait, people eat green peanut butter? What shade of green are we talking, brown with a green hue, or more green than brown?

My brother took a psychology course in college and they were looking at those colorblindness tests where you try to make out a number in one color among dots of another color (like this). These were all going fine until he got to one and and was like "no, except there's no number here. Seriously, there's no number here. Why isn't there a number in this one?" because it turns out he is red/blue colorblind.
And this is the story of how my brother figured out why no one wanted to be on his team in Halo.

Klang, my maternal grandfather was color blind. The trait is sex linked to the X chromosome, so my mom is a carrier and I have it. I have some degree of deuteranopia, protanopia and tritanopia. This is my breakdown, from a quick test that was posted to Metafilter a few years back.
Cones are photoreceptors inside the retina, that are sections of nerve cells in the eye that help perceive color. There are three kinds of cones, one each for short, medium and long wavelength colors. Cones work best in daylight. People who inherit colorblindness are (to my understanding) born with a lower amount of cone cells than normal. You can also acquire colorblindness, through physical trauma to the eye, disease or drugs.
Brightness is always up all the way on my monitors. I spend more time on websites that have high contrast between text and background. Black text and white background are preferable. So here, I use professional white or the light modern theme. If I happen upon a site without much of a contrast difference, I usually enlarge and highlight text in my browser to try and make it visible. That doesn't always work tho.
Designing a website to account for colorblindness is difficult. There can be a large difference between what two different colorblind people see -- and it's possible to include things on a page that we can't see at all. For example, I have a great deal of difficulty discerning dark red text from black. So if a design highlights hyperlinks in red without an underline, I won't detect them. Similarly, I can't really see purple. It appears blue. All of these things are subjective to me. Not every colorblind person has those problems.
Tools
I think the Colorblind web page filter still works.
Also see Coblis and
Color Oracle.
Vizcheck and Daltonize

Zing Design suggests looking at images in greyscale mode in photoshop, to determine if anything in them gets lost to someone with normal vision.

Klang, as a colourblind person the only thing that ever annoys me with computers is using red and green as the only clues to distinguish between good and bad. As in "click the red circle if you agree and the green circle if you disagree" or "Shoot the red guys, they're the enemy. Make sure not to shoot your green allies". When I play Mario Kart I never know what my shells are going to do until I use them.

The Filter's yellow. Dark yellow, but yellow. Red 204, Green 204, Blue 0. Compare pure yellow: Red 255, Green 255, Blue 0. Balanced red and green, no blue. Yellow.
One thing that might be causing some screwiness is if you're viewing it on an LCD screen, since the logo's at the top and that might mean you're viewing it at a slightly off angle that makes it seem darker and consequently read as less yellow. Or, you know, if your whole monitor is just calibrated a bit bluey.
(And MetaTalk is grey, btw. Red 102, Green 102, Blue 102. Don't get no greyer than that.)

My dad is colour blind, and it has made for some amusing moments, like the day that he got home from work quite angry, because when hurriedly cleaning, I had tossed all his shoes into a pile, and he'd been wearing one brown shoe and one burgundy shoe all day. He didn't even know that he had a burgundy pair of shoes, he'd thought they were both brown. So, he gets home fuming, wanting to give me and my mom hell, and not being able to because we couldn't stop laughing.

Yeah, but zarq, do you actually like peanut butter?
Yep.
And if so, do you feel differently now that you know it's not green?
Nope.
If you see peanut butter as green, what color is brown rice?
Light Brown Rice: Beige-ish. Sometimes gray.
Medium to Dark Brown Rice: Brown or sometimes Green-ish.
Wait...what color is poop to you?
Usually brown.
MetaTalk is grey
That dark gray in the modern theme is one of those colors I find impossible to identify. I'd probably guess brown before gray, even though i know it has to be gray.
FanFare is supposed to be purple, right? I see the top and bottom bars as definitely blue and the middle one I'd have to guess at. I see it as blue, but in the right light it might be pink. Which I guess makes sense since purple = blue + red.

The Fanfare bar is three stripes of purple, which I'd describe as:
Concorde Grape - Dark "dusty" purple
Violet - Medium Purple
Lavender - Light purple.
They're all fairly blue toned. The alternate non-white text is bright green.

Now I'm kind of at a loss as to what colours I ought to use to make the MeFi hoodie I'm planning on making. Should I lean towards an old gold or a yellowish lime green?

One discovery I just made, the configurable site colors are configurable by browser (Mefi leaves a cookie). That's why my FF and safari colors were radically different. Although, even after choosing the dark theme for both, I still see a slight difference. Probably FF does the wrong thing WRT graphics (yet again -- they need real graphics programmers on that project).

kanata, are you possibly set to a different theme on your desktop? Because the Modern theme is probably showing up for you on your phone, and it has different colors from the Classic or Plain themes. You can change which theme you're using on your Preferences page. (And yeah, you can pick a different theme for different browsers and devices.)

Peanut butter?
Ecru.
(according to every daily crossword ever)
That is a lie, a crossword would never say peanut butter was ecru, stop defaming crosswords, img.
It would say taupe.
