Ok, slightly strange topic, but I've always thought the background colours on this place were green (and it was me who put them there!), but today I found out both Neil and Yvonne think it's blue - now am I colour blind, or is it a greeny-blue, or maybe bluey-green or somewhere else in between??

I am not colour blind. It is pale blue and blue.

Remind me not to let you drive me anywhere. :roll: Pete. Do you see greens and reds? I have been in a car with you, you maniac!

Hey folks, lets get this correct :oops: Martin chose the colours & CP2 means I'm partially colour blind, so can tell the difference between red & green :shock:

Plus I drove Verity & Phil to & from the airport once & she didn't even grab the door, dashboard, handbreak or anything else there & back :wink: :lol:

Always considered it to be blue, but now can see it could be greeny-blue. Maybe I need to worry about colour-blindness too :(

I think you are all colour blind. :lol:

I don't think there is enough green in it to make it turquoise. But I suppose it is all a matter of perception at the end of the day.

I don't need any adjusting, thanks. There are things going awry with my body, but my eyes are fine. I can still read without glasses in a good light. :lol:

I like the colour on my screen. Very easy on the eye. Just like those key cutting brothers. :wink: :lol:
