I find it offensive: squarely in the baby-poo, vomit, etc category.

Edit: I'm referring to the background of the "alert" bar as well as the "welcome" box for not-logged-in users.

I tried "mustard" as the password - it didn't work. – Andrew Grimm Jul 15 '09 at 12:10
Is this a joke? – Aidan Ryan Jul 15 '09 at 12:21

Well obviously your comment, it's my question. – Aidan Ryan Jul 15 '09 at 12:25
D'oh! I was referring to the old "orange" captcha for the blog. Though I actually did try "mustard" to see if it worked. Ha ha only serious, I guess. – Andrew Grimm Jul 15 '09 at 13:04
The password is on the blog. – Brad Gilbert Jul 15 '09 at 21:18
That colour is called "bogey green", always has been. ;-) – DisgruntledGoat Aug 24 '09 at 12:08

I love too them. For me its appearance is the best of the three/four sites. The second i like is SO – marco.ragogna Jul 15 '09 at 12:47
Yeah, when I saw superuser I was a bit jealous that SO wasn't styled this way (since I'll probably be on SO the most out of the three sites). – toast Jul 15 '09 at 14:15

I think the SuperUser colours are way better than Serverfault or Meta. Ok, Jeff hates Meta, so it gets the ugly scheme. Fine, I can deal with that. But Serverfault... blech. SuperUser has a nice theme IMO.

I think the gray meta rocks... I guess tastes are very different in this small world :) – Steve Schnepp Jul 22 '09 at 8:41

Pretty much duplicate of Thoughts on the new superuser logo and theme?.

To answer your question, I think the colour scheme garish, even hideous.

Looks medieval. Try white on white.

I really don't like the bubbles around the tag names. It makes them stand out too much, IMO.

There is one drawback with a blue scheme. Older people, discriminating myself here by giving a specific age boundry at about 40-45, tend to have difficulties distinguishing different shades of blue.

You probably mean for questions with accepted answer. I find nothing "offensive" about that color.
