If you like schumi you like ferrari... same for man united! And i like the error message for when it tells you to wait a certain time before you can post again! That is one of the best error messages I've ever seen!
Ferrari fan, obviously
Agree with the red being reserved for errors, and of course the alerts (which I considered changing to orange)
I tend to go with yellow for notices. grreen for success messages, red for errors and blue for help and tips.
There are exceptions of course. The use of green on quotes is a good example of this as it is tied to the branding rather than the choice of colour being part of the visual language.
Like the paler green comments BTW.
A dark yellow or tan border on the yellow notification boxes rather than the grey would be more consistent with the darker green bordering on the comments IMO.
Notification boxes? Which bit do you mean?
We don't have dark yellow or tan in the palette, so that would be introducing a new colour into the mix.
The initial plan was to use green and yellow but I couldn't get it to work without it looking garish.
Edit: Oh you mean the notices at the top of the page? Yeah, I haven't finished working on those yet - they're currently using the inline moderator colour...

Edit: Hmm. Try this instead. http://grafisia.com/freebie/psd/web-notification-boxes/
Illustrates the visual vocabulary I was refering to earlier.
The member card has been tweaked for the final time to make the background more prominent and distinguish between the various content.

And that's the new design finished!
I hope you like it and it's not too light for those who prefer a dark style and not too dark for those who prefer a light style.

Nice work. On your last post, I'd probably avoid using the green text on the user's status. green text is reserved for links everywhere on the site so you've broken your own design pattern.
Otherwise, looking good.

It's a completely different green - #99CC99 instead of #004400 
I tried a few different colours such as white, grey, etc. but everything else just made the status text blend in too much.

Well OK. Shades of green are the most indistinguishable colours to the human eye so they look the same to me. The hex codes are very distinguishable, though.
