MyBB Theme: Pumpkin Blue v1.0

[Peter L]

Pumpkin Blue Info

Pumpkin Blue is a vibrant orange and blue theme for a very lively forum feel. This is my second MyBB theme. I thought I'd take a risk and go for a bright theme with an odd color scheme choice. It isn't hard on the eyes and is perfect for a laidback community.

Colours don't work amazingly together. (The blues in particular).
Other than that it's alright.

Thanks for the comment...do you have any suggestions? Could the blue and orange work? Two other people said the same, but visited a second time and they liked it the second time. Odd response.

Blue & orange can work, you just need to get the right shades. They're not complementary colours, but if you use strong enough shades then you should be able to pull it off. They're a bit weak at the minute. Make sure both shades of blue in the categories go well together aswell.

I spent about 30% of my time working on the colors itself. I thought I did pretty good with making the two compliment each other. Can you elaborate on "stronger" shades?

They term for these two colors though is referred to as composite colors which do work well together in some scenarios of art.

It looks good to me though, I don't see much wrong with the shades chosen to be honest, both are faded, blend nicely to define each other, and where the outline borders, the contrasted blue makes everything stand out.

I know, which is why I said they can work well together. But by "complimentary", I meant the technical term, in that they aren't on opposite sides of the colour spectrum, (green, and red are, for example).

I know buddy lol I was just making sure you knew the correct term for those colors, as not all colors that go together have to be complimentary colors in a color scheme

I could've swore I posted on this.

I like it Laugh, the colours go quite well together and I've never seen this styled theme before, well done. I just don't like the container background.
