Template talk:OLPC

In my opinion the green was great. It matched the colour scheme used by Diana Fong in the mockup pictures and was the colour of chlorophyll, the colour of plant life. It stood out without being garish. Could you please consider reinstating it?

Being the one who chose the color green for the "Green Machine", I am sympathetic; but I found it really distracting in the context of the wiki. Maybe we can do some more experimenting in the Sandbox in the meanwhile? Walter 02:33, 15 June 2006 (EDT)

There are now some experiments in the Sandbox, at the bottom of the page. Maybe a colour could be chosen, such as red=(a value) green= (a value) blue=(a value) and that could be known as OLPC Green as a colour.

The skin of the wiki is monochrome. The only color is the bit of color used here and their for links. Until (or if) we chnage that and establish a color scheme, introducing color bars is really jarring. I'm happy to work with you to introduce a few color elements that would serve as a foil for adding some color to the page organization, etc., but visually, I think that needs to happen first. Otherwise, we are visually putting too much emphasis on these elements that should be mostly in the background. Walter 07:04, 15 June 2006 (EDT)
