Need Advice

Hey guys, I built this site and I've had a couple people tell me I should change the color scheme to make it easier on the eyes etc. I don't feel like it is hard on the eyes though, I like the colors. Most the people that told me this were family members who are over 40 though. So idk if it is the age difference or if I should change the colors?

Can't post links yet but here it is:

    • yup looks ok.. but i would suggest splash of nightblue or morningred color to make it cool or hot... but still it's look awesome.
  • Nah, it looks good, the audience it will be presented to are used to this sort of color themes in gaming web sites. Well done
  • Thanks guys

  • Hey man! Really cool website! I used to play a similar game when I was younger called Tibia. It was also a really addictive game. I gave it up after high school but I like what you are doing here. Looks like a really good fansite! Good job man!
  • Nice website. I would suggest adding a different hover color to buttons.
  • For your niche, your color scheme is fine (even though I'm perhaps older than your average target audience member ).

    But, for me, a bigger problem is that giant 1.5MB background image you're using - it takes ages to load. I suggest optimizing and reducing it to a more civilized size.

    • Wow can't believe I forgot to do that hah. Thanks for spotting that.
    • I concur. Other than it loading a bit slowly the color scheme is fine for the subject matter.
  • Check gothamcityimpostors.com for some inspiration. It uses dark color in very nice way.
  • ahhhh my eyes! Just kidding your website looks great! Congrats

    • Colours look fine to me
  • nice color for me, just notice the sexy bookmark I suggest don't put it on top, it looks like a header,, instead put it below the flash, good luck!
  • yes, you need to change the color of your web site. Try light color not dark color and Over all web site is very good...
  • color is okay for me
  • It looks fine to me too.

    • Thanks guys. All of your advice is appreciated.
  • Most of the big websites are primarily white with black type. Think FB, Google, etc. WF is mostly gray with some red and black. Just food for thought. People prefer easy to read.
  • it is ok any color for website ,make light background color&font different color like blue
    If you understand what colors trigger which emotions, you can make your pages much more effective.
  • color looks fine. but i had problem with your page loading

    • There shouldn't be any loading problems. You may have been on at a time I was transferring some data.
  • I think its totally great. Don't change it if you don't want to.

    Maybe this will help:
    In my previous career in advertising I had lots of various clients come through the agencies I worked for.

    What I learned is that every design need sort of has a "flavor".

    Like you don't use a cosmetics "flavor" for a car commercial.
    You have to design to the appropriate flavor. And your's does just that!

    It's a video game! You have it right.

    Nice rich aqua green. Nice, very nice!
  • Great site! Love the colors, don't change a thing.
  • The color is great.
    It would be awesome if you add more bright colors such as shining gold in your navigations ( maybe change the icon that looks more bright and shine ). Don't go too far, just add more bright elements.
    See gothamcityimpostors.com just like xtrapunch said above. It's a dark theme, but there are more bright elements. And it makes the website more alive ( title colors,background picture, tapes, papers, etc ).
  • your color tone is just fine...But still if you are having complaints use grey with peal yellow...
