Could anybody give me some comments on my phpBB's color sheme? www.site-32.com/phpBB . I know it's Dutch, but it's just the color sheme.

Hime-chan sez: :(

I don't think it's good, plain and simple. I can't find one single good point ... and I don't like saying things like that.

Using three colors of such intensity that don't even relate to similar or opposite hue is dangerous - it literally calls for design disaster. Try to go for one, maximum two colors and make sure to point out which one is main.

If you want an even cleaner look, go for several shades of the same color. I'm sorry, but I can't give you more advice unless I know what kind of look you're going for.

For 1, the green you chose to use is revolting as is without mixing it with a dark blue and a light red, as well as the blue/black stripped background. I'd for one, drop that background and make it plain white or maybe an off white. All the lines just divert your attention from the forum itself to the background, and you don't want that. Also, try to think up some better colors that are more flowing for your forum, maybe different shades of the grey you have, darker and light and such.
