Best to use like a "middle" color of text.
Lavender may be too bright on a lighter skin, perhaps a mauve?

I've never actually used a light skin before...they hurt my eyes.

I think if I were to use a colour now though I'd be inclined to go with this kind of blue. Lavender/Pink is a difficult colour to pull off - too light and you can't read it on light skins, too dark and it's kinda blinding no matter what you use it on.

Although I do like this shade. Amaranth pink is my favourite colour <3

I had a lot of people complain at me back when I used lavender, and a couple of PMs about it too.

 

[Corrin]

Yeah the blue is nice. I use the new UI standard, myself.

 

[pkmin3033]

I've been alternating between The Y-Axis and Hypno's Lullaby since I joined. I get headaches too easily from staring at screens all day and bright whites definitely do not help, haha.

 

[Corrin]

I don't really, my headaches are already there by the time I get on lol

I personally try not to use light skins. :x Darker skins are better for me, imo.

 

[Pure Essence]

I agree. I just switched to Y axis.

 

[Sylphiel]

I prefer darker skins, but PC's light skins have never been that bad for me. I actually switched to a lighter skin for now...mostly because I picked one at random, hah.

 

[professor plum]

I really like the mixture of light & dark on the new UI, but generally I prefer darker UIs [e.g. The Johto Elite].
Then again, the style I used from like 2009-2018 was Sweet Kisses, which is pretty light. RIP Sweet Kisses - not gone, but forgotten.

I just like a UI that doesnt come over as a flashbang when i load it up

 

[pkmin3033]

Discord appears to be down =/

 

[TY]

it was down for some time but now its up on my end

 

[pkmin3033]

Well, I can't sign in. Useless software...

 

[Corrin]

Haven't tried but multiple pals say its down

 

[professor plum]

yeah it's been p sporadic all day.

 

[LadyJirachu]

Forum seems to work normal for me again^^

I'll stick with the regular skin, my pink text shows better on it xD

 

[Enpatsu Shakugan]

I literally didn't even know what Discord was until this year alone.

What happened to things like MSN Messenger and AIM? I was still using those.

 

[colours]

AIM died like last year rip

a shame because it was really a classic but AIM just couldn't keep up in the modern age

 

[Nick]

You were still using MSN messenger even though they stopped it in like 2011?

 

[Sheep]

msn died sometime in 2012-2013, didn't it? i know because i got modded in mid-2012 and had my modding convo through msn haha
not that it matters much though, it's gone....though i do miss it sometimes ; ; discord is a great alternative, and i've stopped using skype a while back now
