My New, Finally Readable, Text Color

Okay, fine, I'll give it up. Anyway, due to common suggestion/demand, I am changing my text color so those other than people with very good eyesight can read it. The colors in the poll are colors that I have personally deemed easy to see and read, as well as ones that I like . Anyway, vote for your favorite for me to use from now (I'm using navy for this thread) on. Any other suggestions will be taken into consideration but they have to be on the text color pallete. Gracias

If you want to be really unique, change your colour to #000001. That way, it's not black but is still really easy to read.

I was going to chose black, but considering your comments, it seemed unlikely you would take my advice.

Any color listed above is fine except the stupid day-glow blue you used to use! I like the navy. Thanks for changing it!

You have no choice for 'white', and it doesn't qualify under the 'other' option, either, because white is not a color.

Therefore ( you knew this was coming ), the poll is you-know-what.

Thats becuase the only choices here are ones that have been deemed readable and that sjpfencer220 likes. Clearly according to sjpfencer220 white has failed one of these qualifiers and is hence not a valid poll choice.

You'll have to find another reason the poll is flawed

Furthermore, we the voters are biased since this color of his post is also one of the "candidates." The post should have been composed in a neutral color.

If you mustmustmust use a color other than black, then nave gets my vote - purely for the typo. I had always pictures knaves as being associated with reds, but apparently I was wrong.

Yes, the water cooler! It's this really cool place where people can discuss things that have nothing to do with fencing.

Poll is flawed because it's goddamn ridiculous.
Even for the WC this is a waste of time - go fence instead, people.

Heh. It may also be worth noting that all of your clubmates, except for me, have voted for black. Use black! Seem less attention-seeking! Don't get beat up after practice by squinting annoyed teammates!

Pick your battles and stick to 'em. Do not give in to black! (but READABILITY is a good thing.)
(Wow... this just seems like such a wasted post. I really said nothing... meh) Nevermind.
