Final

[mellifluous-ink.livejournal.com]

I have changed the entry field to the darker grey, which gives me leeway for playing with pinstripes. I have also...played with the pinstripes. I like these the best.

The colours I've used (since there has been obvious confusion as to what they are) are as follows:

- A series of dark purples that have a low saturation. The hex coding for them is between 33-77 in all three fields.

- Black

- A light grey and a slightly darker grey. There is no warm or cool tone to these greys--they are the same value across all three fields (d8d8d8 for the lighter, and c0c0c0 for the darker).

Re the icon situation: I will go get all the hex coding for the colours if any iconists want to use the community's colour scheme to make an icon to match.

Thank you all for your feedback. :)

This looks amazing. So easy to read, but the pinstripes theme that looks so spiffy. Best of both worlds.

I thought it was fine earlier today, but this is lovely too. Kind of ironic that this comm. would fight quibble re: what outfit our branch of LJ is wearing. And objecting to the fruitier shade of purple. COINCIDENCE? I think not. -_-;

Very good, Madam. Quite reminiscent of one of Bertie's suits. :)

Madam? Darling, you put an extra 'a' and 'd' in there. I'm a gentleman. :)

[derien.livejournal.com]

Ah, then I meant Madman?

No worries, luv. I know I assume most everyone on LJ is female, by default. n_n

[mellifluous-ink.livejournal.com]

Well, it's usually true. So experience dictates it.

My icon is a rough sketch, and I'm an androgynous fop of a boy, so it doesn't really phase me when people mistake me for female. It's happened all my life, really. n_n;

I should appologize, but I'm almost worn out with constantly screwing up people's genders. I'm not even good at gender in Real Life, and in fandom I always assume everyone is female because it seems the safest bet a good deal of the time. Besides which, I think your icon has lipstick on, right?

[mellifluous-ink.livejournal.com]

I understand being worn out, and being a fop in this day and age, I am used to being taken for a lady! :D So, like I said, no worries.

When I started talking online (irc) in '91 everyone assumed I was a guy, because that was the safe assumption back then. And I guess I confused them by talking about women I found attractive, too. And being pretty much unfem. That was where I met eor and he still says I'm pretty much a guy with breasts.

Now it's very nice. Very clear and peaceful.

[random-nexus.livejournal.com]

I approve! I like this as much, if not more, than the last one. Easy on the eyes and elegant.

[g-song.livejournal.com]

Oh I like this one. Simple and easy to read, and the pinstripe theme is awesome :)

I've only come in at the beginning of this and at the end but I'm liking what you've done here. Very nice indeed Sir.
