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 just accepted that Vivid was the way the forum is meant to be, despite knowing that a different choice is available to me. Even my seemingly straight-forward  'choice' is telling, and has a number of possible connotations - no wonder I have difficulty making decisions. :D Haven't even looked at the Calm option because my imagination conjures up a sombre, depressing look to it.

    Sorry for derailing the thread to ask such a trivial question, but can anybody help, please?:

    If I see something like this - (3) - at the top of the page, I understand that it refers to three notifications...but how do I go directly to a page which shows me exactly what those three notifications are? I worry that I'll fail to acknowledge someone who might, for example, have replied to me or Liked a post (or something like those two possibilities).

    Thanks.
