    Why is this like… Kind of ok looking? Is it just the old school look causing nostalgia? Surely right? I can’t actually be thinking that’s an okay color scheme

    Great contrast at least… Not super harsh like the standard light themes

      put this image on a big monitor and stare at it for 30 seconds, then look anywhere else

        Actually doesn’t do the thing for me. I know the optical illusion you’re going for but this color scheme doesn’t trigger it in my brain for some reason. I kind of hate that lmao

          woah what

          it’s not even the brain that does it, it’s the color receptors getting tired because of the bright colors and when you look at something white it seems less red, and thus blue

          maybe your monitor isn’t very bright, or maybe because of the yellow it lets the color receptors rest for long enough to keep working properly

            Interesting. I think you’re right about it being the monitor, I keep my brightness pretty low because I’m quite photosensitive
