Any suggestions for colour schemes for dark and/or (brrrrr) light themed websites?

Dark theme: dark grays.
Light theme: dark blurple

I suck at colour schemes too. Being colour deficient doesn't help I guess.

@coolq another colorblind person :D

@Codex404
I'm not colour blind though, just my red and greens are wonky :P

I don't know if this is normal, but sometimes, especially with red and green, I can see "seams" near the colours, also, sometimes the colours blink :P

To counter that though, I have excellent vision, which is nice :-)

@coolq not colorblind but wonkey red and green? That is what colorblindness means.

@Codex404 hm maybe I'll make my current dark theme the light theme, and then go pitch black for the dark theme. Lol

@Codex404
Nah, colour blind is where you can't see colour at all. Colour deficient is when they're just messed up :P

But fancy meeting another person with similar eyes :)

@coolq hmm in the Netherlands there is no difference in names for those. And even when looking up information about it in english everyone just calls it coloblindness. I have Deutranomaly myself which is a type of colorblindness.

Im not one of the unlucky few who cant see color at all (that is just under 50 people, mostly in australia).

@Codex404
Right... I'm in Australia :P

Interesting how different countries have different standards!

Do colours ever blink for you?
It doesn't happen with blue, but
if a colour is bright, sometimes is blinks, and when it's in the "on" state of the blink it's turns whiter and glowy, another things that happens is it starts to look like they glowy colour is slightly closer.
The blinking isn't consistent either, sometimes is actually throbs.
Idk if this is just normal though.
Hope I'm not insane lol

@coolq there are many types of color deficiencies. For some people its the eyes, for others its caused in the brain. And we might be grouped as the same type of color deficient, but a color you see probably wont be the same as the way I see it.

I dont see flashing lights, but that doesnt mean you are crazy xD Ive heard my uncle (also color deficient) talk about it as well.

@Codex404
At least it's not just me 😊

Have a look at colourlovers.com/palettes for some inspiration :)

I usually use opaque shades of blue and dark shades of gray (or black) for dark themes
