who needs colour theory anyway

clicking randomly through reocities because my hands are cramping up too much to do more. (physio appt in June, can't come fast enough)

start to wonder, since it was very much rusty's first internet fandom, 'hey, how long before I find a petz site?'

done.it's so blindy... but also kind of weirdly beautiful? eh, I guess you had to be from that era

I know, even I did it! My earliest pages tried to be coordinated, but they were still blinding. Especially the ochre text on bright sky blue patterning.

The purple courier on black, meanwhile, is a throwback to when I got more readable.

I still use bright colors on webpages!

...to test what CSS'd bits are going where, because it's hard to miss a #F0F border. okay, that doesn't quite count.

I could make a layout that used Windows 3.1 color schemes and include a hot dog stand option. yes.

I can't remember clearly, but I think the first thing I had was neon green on black? Surprisingly decent. That might just have been X-Files fanpage influence, mind, so I can't take credit for it :p.

Hey, I do that too! Okay, I think a lot of people do.

...oh man I want a Windows 3.1 layout, but please include Black Leather Jacket as well if you do, dammit!

Fluorescent looks like blindy fun, too.

and hey, neon green on black is cool. I like bright stuff on black in general. Especially my purple Courier. There's a reason I'm using it on Neocities. Purple Courier was me.

That's actually missing some of them! If you want to play with Windows 3.1 and ALL THE COLOR SCHEMES, there's an image floating around uh...somewhere that you can throw at an install of Virtualbox with it already installed and everything. The mouse support is kind of borked, though, it jumps all over (and 3.1's not supported by Virtualbox, technically, so good luck figuring out how to fix it, if it's even possible to). I wanted to draw in Paint...

Though ooh, the windows 3.1 tag on that Tumblr should be useful if I try to make a layout. Lots of screenshots!
