But that is exactly the problem; you left in the *old* yellow against a much mellower blue. If that blue was as bright as the old green, it would be much less of a problem. I don't know how expert you are in CSS and web colors, but there should really have been more attention to matching all colors used. In this case, it was a rush job wich resulted in mismatched colors. And again, I am not alone in this assesment; you patch did not generate a single approving comment, whereas my proposal did several.

But every time I try to raise the issue, you or Hashdar are just unilaterally closing any ongoing discussion; I do not expect this behaviour from developers. You are forcing your bad patch against consensus, plain and simple. No bikeshedding here.

What was the purpose of changing colors? Aesthetics? If yes, this is bikeshedding. If there isn't a really good reason to change the colors, don't. If you are changing the colors so that they are more accessible for color blind users, for instance, then this is a legitimate change.

If your wiki has decided they want to bikeshed the colors, then your community can make consensus and change the colors in your wiki's CSS. The software is used by third parties. On-wiki consensus doesn't apply for a change that will modify the color for all users of the software.
