Subtle patterns as background to replace dark colors (picture in description)

[rvion]

I think using subtle patterns like
http://subtlepatterns.com/gplay/ to replace darc colors improves the website:

Here is an 10 sec example I did within chrome, by changing background by an url pointing on above pattern, then switching back text colors to black.

• the pattern is really light, and won't increase page load time.
• that's really not much things to change, and it allow to keep same page

All those patterns can be changed to be light light violet if one wants :)

• This improves lisibility and it is easier on eye
• This cost less ink when printed (who knows)
• I once read that some social experiment showed people were more likely to stay on bright website

(Many other textures on the same website, free to use, eg:

http://subtlepatterns.com/hexellence/
etc.

Changing the design is not productive at this stage. Shifting to post release discussion.
