Try Out New Homepage Color Options Here!
Posted Sep 12th 2007 11:48PM by Lisa Edwards
We received a lot of negative feedback from you about the color of the new Homepage. You told us that the new color options were too neutral, washed out and a radical (but not welcome) departure from the familiar "AOL Blue".
So we took your feedback to heart and went to work on a new set of color options that features a more familiar blue as the default color and a set of more saturated (some might say "juicy") color options for you to choose from.
But before we go ahead and make another change, we want to get your opinion on the new Homepage color options. Check out the new AOL Homepage color options and then let us know what you think. Do you love them? Do you hate them? Or do you not care that much? We want to know!
You can go back to the current the AOL Homepage color options at any time.

87. Quit showing me this screen when I double click AOL. I don't care about the colors and only want my mail and the news.

88. When I try to forward or reply the e-mail is unreadable as it way to the left of the page and can not be accessed. Yesterday, I got notified that e-mail was upgraded and to close it and start it again. I don;t know if this happened after the upgrade .

91. I am an artist and what I see are all warm based colors - even the blue is a warm blue, the orange a golden orange, the violet a red-violet, the green a yellow green, the peony and the cappuchino might be the 'coolest' versions of their respective hues. I don't dislike those colors, but some of your users might prefer cool based colors, like periwinkle (blue violet) or ultramarine blue, teal, a blue green, cherry red, etc. I personally prefer strong colors, not pale ones like the ones you have selected. Maybe the conclusion is that six choices are too few. In addition to your pale colors, perhaps you might consider adding some more intense colors, keep the pastels, and add some earth tones for those who like a natural look. I just appreciate you giving us options to choose from - it makes it seem more personal, more "mine." So thanks!
