The "0 Answers" style on SuperUser looks horrid/out of place.

You know the one I'm talking about, the big burgundy box of badness.

one is not really the loneliest number, nor blue the saddest color

Now it's pink. Need a new alliteration... – Shog9 Jul 16 '09 at 14:12
putrid pink prose? – Joel Coehoorn Jul 16 '09 at 16:10

It's good that it's noticeable, but bad that it doesn't appear to fit well with the rest of the site. I'd prefer to see a lighter shade used, and used on the text and border rather than the background.

Oh, and round corners like the tags - then it'll only look like crap on IE...

I really like this design. – Martinho Fernandes Jul 15 '09 at 21:00
Agreed, this is very nice. – Ian Elliott Jul 15 '09 at 21:38

I disagree! I think questions without answers should look out of place. It's a community focused on asking and answering questions - no answers strikes me as something that should stand out.

Where is the community decision here? – Geoffrey Chetwood Jul 15 '09 at 20:22
It's ugly as sin, and that's a good thing ! – Shog9 Jul 15 '09 at 20:35
-I- disagree - you may not! I'd rather informative than ugly, I think. – Andy Mikula Jul 15 '09 at 21:16

On my monitor, it doesn't look black, it looks like a really deep burgundy.

Regardless, I think it could be made to stand out without clashing. I'd suggest trying something in the yellows.

hmm... burgundy works. As long as you keep the alliteration ;) – Joel Coehoorn Jul 15 '09 at 20:32

Agreed: It's way too dark! Change the value (as in HSV) on the burgundy to be a little lighter.

Or give it a white background and use the dark burgundy for the fore-color. – Joel Coehoorn Jul 15 '09 at 20:42

Yes, I like that idea even better. I'd also swap the answer/unanswered colors: I think it makes more sense to use yellow for "unanswered" questions and green for "answered". – Pete Jul 15 '09 at 20:47
