It's the exact same yellow as before, guys. The
*exact* shade.
This is the exact definition of a "bikeshed" argument. Feel free to
move along.
I don't see, Brandon, that Erwin suggested that it is not.
But no, colorization of elements of a user interface is in fact *not* a
bikeshed argument: these colors actually matter to people, because they
have culturally ingrained expectations about what they mean -- though those
cultures may be geopolitical or they may be intentional (programmers, geeks,
etc).
Additionally, of course, there are best practices for how far apart colors
should be to be easily distinguishable, what luminance and saturation work
best, and what color combinations are bad for colorblind people.
So please, stop taking this stuff personally, and address the issue?
You're a designer; you know know better than to have ego tied up in the
results...
Cheers,
