Ladies and gentlemen, your opinions, please.

Yes, still tinkering with my site. *sigh* I though this was going to be quick and easy.

Which background color do you prefer?

A) The original simple white. Simple. Clean. Gets the job done.

B) A bit of a cream-color. It's a little easier on the eyes.

C) A dove-grey. It works with the graphic.



ETA: White and cream are almost dead-even, with one vote more in favor of cream, with grey a distant third.

Trouble is, on various monitors the colors appear very, very different. On my system, the cream is barely even a color. At school it's a wild yellow-ish color, yeesh.

The grey reminds me too strongly of Area 52. I'm a little frustrated with my color options here. I feel asking the harried guy at the paint store: "Do you have any more swatches?"

Maybe if you played around with the color slider here you could get some ideas, plus the hex codes to implement them. I kinda like how #FFC68B looks, myself.

That's a cool tool, but I can't seem to get colors that are lighter than what I have here.

I tried the color you suggested. What do you think? (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/home.html)

Yeah, the sliders don't let you go all the way to FF, for some reason.

Hmm. Seeing it with the banner in place, I'm not so sure now. It's close to some of the lighter tones on the left side of the banner, but not quite--you might want to get a second opinion.

Now I'm hitting random numbers with extra Fs (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/home.html). Well?

Ooh, I like it--though it's a bit close to the original cream color, so you might want to check it on another monitor.
