Now that I’ve been using Jaunty for a while (netbook and laptop) I have to say, I’m not impressed with the new login theme, background or upslash graphics. I feel like my computer’s gone all red and demon like, but colour is a matter of subjective opinion so I’m willing to admit this entire post is nothing more than my opinion on colour.

What ever happened to orange and brown? I like orange and brown. When done right it can been soothing and food like and there is I read a link between stress and colour, especially in high stress fields where a person is on a computer all day. Someone did point out below that there are cultural connections for colours, although I’m more interested in the biological ones.

Red isn’t good for mood, green is a much better for your mood, relaxing like a forest without tigers. Blue seems refreshing and browns seem earthy and productive. Orange and yellow remind me of food.

So what’s the deal? Well there is a move towards high contrast designs, black colours and all very gothic colours. I’m sure this is a move towards showing off on newer high contrast displays and perhaps a new colour theme is more appropriate for the majority of users.

I know there are loads of artists and designers in the community, hopefully you guys can come and tell me what a load of tosh I’m talking about. But for now I’ll hopefully have my upsplash changed… although on my laptop I already had a nice blue gdm theme and brown gnome theme in place. Only my netbook needs updating now.
