Vivid or Calm?

Autonomistic

I've noticed a few discussions recently which mention colours. Colours in general are very important to me. I've seen it mentioned that autistic people have a preference for blues and greens and I would agree with that personally. I cannot imagine a world where everything were shades of grey or beige Neutral face

This piqued my curiosity about preferences in relation to the 'Vivid' or 'Calm' colour choices we are provided with on this website. 

My preference is most definitely vivid. I find the calm option harder to see, to the extent that it feels as if it is hurting my eyes if I try. Which one do you opt for?

Clicking the button to switch quickly between vivid and calm induces a physical nausea sensation in me. Does anyone else experience this?

  • I go for vivid as well - I've tried calm and it seems to pull my eyes, makes them feel like they're straining to adapt to the difference.

    I think it must be an autism thing for me. It's like the dark mode on my phone does the exact same thing to me, so I always stick with light mode. Otherwise I do start to feel unwell.

    Puts way too much pressure on my eyes.
