"Offering" and "Requesting" colour change

[Kek123]

Please change the offering and requesting tags to colours that aren't as similar (Yellow and Orange). It makes the forums quite difficult to navigate through.

Thanks

I don't really think it's all that difficult to navigate. If you're looking for a specific type of thread, there's a selection menu at the top of the page.

Thank's for the quick reply, but as an administrator I hope you understand that your views don't necessarily reflect those of the community (I am stating this because your comment heavily influences the decision in this matter). If your opinion alone determines the fate of a suggestion, why even take suggestions? If we are forced to use the selection menu then why have the tags displayed in the first place. Yellow and Orange are very bright colours that are honestly painful to look at. More mellow colours would be a way better choice, and easier on the eyes. If not both, at least change one of the colours as they are both very similar. Some people may accidentally select yellow when they meant to select orange. If you reply with something like "just read the words" I would argue that a lot of people don't even look at the words while skimming through the forums, and just use the colour to quickly determine what type of thread it is. It is not at all convenient in my opinion. If my opinion doesn't reflect those of the majority of the community, then so be it, yellow and orange it is, but I do believe most will agree on the fact that they are too similar and too bright.

(This isn't meant to offend you, just stating my reasoning)

I was just stating my opinion and contribute to the discussion. I can understand your point and I'm watching this thread to see what others have to say, but I think the colors are good together. Personally, I think it's not a bad thing to have brighter colors on the site and the colors go well together, in my opinion. Orange and yellow are different enough to notice and we haven't had problems with prefixes in the past (there are some forums where the prefixes are all the same color).

Of course, that's just my opinion. Don't think my opinion is the deciding factor. I'm merely contributing to the discussion, as I'm a member here too.

Maybe just make the orange a bit darker and/or get rid of the yellowish outline on the orange tags?
