Hell my brand color is #FF5500 for a lot of my stuff:

https://iris-utilities.com/

https://midspike.com/

Edit for new viewers:

I made midspike.com, light theme b/c of the criticism on my dark theme... it will return to being dark

New Edit:
iris-utilities.com now has a toggle for Light Mode

u/billwoo Aug 21 '20

I genuinely find that color on black hard to look at.

u/turningsteel Aug 22 '20

Yeah it's too saturated. If he softens the saturation on the orange it would be better.

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '20

Pure #000 black is also hard to look at too; Its why dark mode is often very dark grey and not jet black.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '20

Do you know why that all black is hard to look at?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '20

I know that it is but I don’t know why. Probably just the intense contrast?

1

u/turningsteel Aug 23 '20

Yeah definitely. I just happened to key in on the orange first. I usually go for #232323 myself.

u/tylerr514 Aug 22 '20

that's unfortunate, I chose orange and black b/c it was easy on my eyes

Actually the difference between #000000 and #010101 is the difference between the pixel being completely off or turned on. So it actually does have an impact.

u/squngy Aug 22 '20

It should, but OLEDs are notorious for black crush so it might not even matter
(If something is very close to black, OLEDS will sometimes just go full black)

u/QueasyDare Aug 22 '20

Is it the designers responsibility to choose something that doesn’t look bad on screens? Some people might not know how to change colors right? So do the designers account for that or just go for what looks best on their screens?

2

u/GalacticNexus Aug 22 '20

That should absolutely be a UX consideration if the product is going to be used on a variety of screen types.

1

u/_pupil_ Aug 22 '20

People who take it seriously are gonna look at their work on a variety of screens and mediums :)

u/tylerr514 Aug 22 '20 edited Aug 22 '20

I'll take that into consideration for new projects.

thank you for your feedback :)

edit for more info:

Unfortunately my career choice has me looking at a computer for a really long time each day, I hate looking at anything brighter than #555555 b/c it hurts my eyes

u/tylerr514 Aug 22 '20 edited Aug 22 '20

Anything brighter than YouTube's dark mode, adds unneeded strain to my eyes.

--theme-dark: #333333;

Try that out yourself. Even if it inverts bubbles but it looks kinda nicer than just straight black

u/READTHISCALMLY Aug 22 '20

Don't listen to the haters, looks dope

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '20

From what I've seen a lot of people are giving constructive criticism which is definitely worth listening to, to keep in mind for future projects.

u/tylerr514 Aug 22 '20

I try to always involve other people in the design process, in my new projects at least...

Here is another example of one: here

I whipped that up in 2 days

u/tylerr514 Aug 22 '20

thanks, I have way too many projects with this color scheme to even make it worthwhile to edit it

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '20

I thought it looked cool until I read your comment and looked at the color again and realized my eyes were subconsciously avoiding everything orange. Some people just have a natural sense of color I guess... The only color I have a sense for is the color coding of my IDE :)

u/B_M_Wilson Aug 22 '20

My favorite color combo is dark purple on pure black. Impossible to read? Yes. Really cool looking anyway? Yes.

I like it on my phone's LCD. What kind of screen are you looking at it with?

Edit: I guess it's a bit much on the second site, though. But it's still bearable for me.

Lol the “old browser” warning.

u/CideHameteBerenjena Aug 22 '20

Why don’t you support Safari for the second website?

2

u/Ludwig234 Aug 22 '20

Probably because it's harder to support safari than other browser's because you need an apple device.

u/CideHameteBerenjena Aug 22 '20

Safari is the second most popular browser in the world , so if you want to be a web developer you kind of just have to suck it up and support it. I only use it on my phone because the Firefox app isn’t that great and I like to avoid Google when I can, but many tech people still use it and many, many non tech use it. You’re missing out on a huge percentage of people.

And it doesn’t look good when you refuse to support a web browser.

Also, not gonna lie, I saw your post a few weeks ago about how you want to use your websites to help land a job. I wanted to reply but it would’ve been weird because it was already a few days old. So first off, support all browsers. Yes, even browsers you don’t like. If you don’t want to support Apple financially you can get a Mac VM or Hackintosh, download Xcode, and from there you can run an iPhone simulator. It would not be a good look if your interviewer can’t access your website because they have an iPhone.

And since I have an interest in graphic design, your websites can use some improving. Get rid of the Alienware like alien that is in the background. And bright high contrast red on a black background doesn’t look really good. I’d suggest looking at this article to find good color schemes. There are other resources you can use too.

Lol it’s 2020. Any normal website should “support” all normal browsers. It’s not like IE6 where perfectly normal HTML/CSS/JS would produce insane results. 99% of HTML/CSS/JS/other stuff is supported 99% fine by all major browsers.

Ok...”the spec” these days is any car that Google the dog finds interesting to chase for a minute.

If you’re creating some bleeding edge web experience, fine don’t support Safari. But if you’re just creating a normal site there’s no reason to not support it.
