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!
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.
Can you increase the colour density at the top of the graduated section in the name bar? This would emphasise the quote a bit but not distract from the thread with the main text of the quote?
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.
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...
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.
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.
