Right now I'm experimenting with forum colors. This one seems appropriate for September, seeing as it's the month that Dragon Adopters will be closing... >w<
But I am willing to hear suggestions! ^w^ I was thinking of having seasonal and holiday themes for the forum! What do you think?

That would be awesome, Fuzzeh! It should be seasonal dragons, as well~ That'd be perfect~

I've contacted Thaz to see what his policy on using his artwork would be. That would determine if we use any official DrA pictures for the forum :3
Also, I may change the colors later depending on what a few other users think. Maybe ot something a little brighter. Maybe blue or green? Or brown? Or red? :3 Or all of them?

This sounds quite promising, Fuzzy.

Blue and red. Green and purple. Blue, green, and purple. Those're all nice. Same with Green and black, and red and black. Only electric green, though.
I hope Thaz lets us~ That'd be cool~

I'm thinking a mix of black and green, maybe a hint of red. Does that sound good?
He replied saying that he will most likely make his art available for non-commercial purposes, meaning as long as we don't try to sell any of it, we'll be good. ;3

Mmh it maybe sounds good, but the red here doesn't really look good. If I take most of the sites I know as a reference, a light color in the background is the best (like the light grey that was there before). Also generally that's a color that matches the main color scheme. I feel like something nice would be either mainly black with light grey background (like before) or mainly red with light red background. That's also how DrA works : mostly blue with light blue background.

I like maybe some bluer colors for the forum, but that's only because blue is my fav color.

I think we should have the same colors of DrA, but have seasonal changes and holiday changes. Like, during Christmas, red and green. And on the first day of each season, make it that season's colors~ Like white for Winter, yellow for summer, green for spring, and red for fall~

Color scheme is one thing. Of course this is what is going to change for the seasonal events (orange for Halloween, red/green for Christmas and so on). But am I the only one thinking a dark color for background is really meh ? It probably would look better with a light color.

Yeah, this forum doesn't have anything scary about it, so a lighter color would be nice~

*nods* Gotcha! Let me try again. ;3 I'll make it... red for now. A midway between summer and fall, sort of. Thanks for all your input! :3

That's better, though I still find the red is too saturated for the background. If you watch the colors you put, they have respectively 162 and 130 saturation (with the same values of hue and value). Now, if you look at the DrA colors you'll notice the background's dominant color only has 60 saturation. But, yeah, problem with red is that it would look like pink with this saturation ^^
Just to show what I mean : Actual colors -> ██ ██ DrA colors -> ██ What I think should be the colors -> ██ ██

Also, why's it so stripey?

Oooh, now it's green! I'm a sucker for green. The banner especially gives a mint chocolate chip ice cream kinda feel. *is starting to get hungry again*
And I'd be cool with holiday themes.

Ah well I'm experimenting. Not exactly the best at making forum colors... I can try to assign you to be the forum theme maker, Hyruu, if you think you're up for it. I'd just have to give you permissions.
I would aim for red/brown for the end of summer/beginning of fall theme.
Right now it's just an ugly green. Sorry, lol!

Hey, that's a good idea~ Hyruu can make the colors. And we can use Thaz's art in it too, remember~

I was able to create a theme moderator for staff. If you would like to be the new "Spectradragon" you are welcome to, Hyruu! :3
