Guys there was this comment on reddit re my links' colour - that the blue is too light on a white background. Is that your experience as well?

I'll have to agree, but my eyesight is fine though.

Edit: colors depend a lot on each screen, so it's always better to stay on the safe side and contrast more than we think it's needed.

Yeah, on my laptop the links are a bit light on they eye. Could be a tad darker for readability.

Thanks guys - would this colour work? #51BCD8. Thanks

Or maybe this colour?

Bright red maybe  - design is not my forte clearly ...all suggestions will be considered, thanks.

I like your first green

Thanks guys - would this colour work? #51BCD8. Thanks

Honestly speaking, that's still a bit light for my taste. I'd go with stronger colour.

Looks like you had #79B803 as your link colour at some point. That looks great. Just saying

The second one works better for me.

Try something like http://snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html

I don't have an issue on my imac pro retina.

Really depending on the screen. Looking now on an IPad and both blue colors, also the light one, are very good readable.

I mean that one. Maybe it's also to light, but I like it

That's true, on my phone the light blue is also fine, but it's best to play it safe when it comes to these things.

Or this are nice tool for colors.

(Just was trying to find an color palette tool I used year or two ago.)

[diogo]

Soma, the first one is great!

there's also this one like your 3rd http://color.hailpixel.com/

You can also just use the inspector to change color in css live on the page. Chrome, FF etc
 
I like this for example #559AAC

Gone with the green for now

[diogo]

Your <hr>s are still blue

[kongondo]

Yes...I realised that afterwards...and they don't look good in the 'green' so going with a lighter colour there - one of my browns or greys...Same with the tutorials page - it is too green for me!

[SiNNuT]

The green looks pretty good on your site. It also depends a lot on font(size) and weight: I pasted the blue below, because i like this color on a couple sites i did. With the forum font and size it is still a tad light. So pasting colors, away from the actual site, doesn't really work (but i still like my blue).

I like blue like this #1FA3EC

[kongondo]

Changed the <hr>s and the the h3 a on the tutorials page. Hope works OK now. 

[diogo]

Another suggestion is to indicate which tutorials are empty on the links to them. The site is full of dead-ends right now.

[kongondo]

You read my mind...was gonna do that but got lazy and decided to do it later
