It reminds me of a color-coding system I remember from the third grade when they put me in a special classroom after I beat Jimmy D******** to a bloody pulp.

The color scheme is far, far superior. It has a San Jose Sharks feel to it.

I'm just surprised that the colour scheme hasn't sparked a debate about RIA finally coming out as a Blue State.

I like it, I'm having a little trouble seeing the outline of the text box. Maybe my monitor setting is set too bright.

I like blue but I lean more towards the royal blue similar to the blue bonnet in my new profile picture.

Well, blue is my favorite color. I like it-3.5 However, I interpreted this as an item about McGowan, as just about all of his reviews involve what he interprets as ' color schemes.'

Much more attractive look than the old garish yellow, which always reminded me of those horrid Pittsburgh Pirates uniforms of the 70's

The blue (looks like a corpse ten minutes after dying) is cold and dull. Try reverting back to the warmer feel the old site had

The blue is fine, but there is indeed a certain retina burning quality as has already been discussed. This has always been a bit too bright a website and the powers that be might do well to tone it done a bit...

Can we tone it down here a little, please? Geeze, my retinas are starting to burn! Maybe a kaki or an off-white could be of more assistance to us night owls. After all, vision is an important aspect to typing reviews.

I may be slightly biased here :)

Obviously colour isn't exactly the most important thing... but my first reaction (after "Holy crap! This is different!") was actually "Aw... no yellow". The general orangey/yellow theme was quite bright and happy, I thought. Obviously it's not a matter of great importance, and the site does look good, but I must admit I did prefer the yellow.
Just picking holes here, thought, because the updates are incredible.

I give the "blue" a *5* from a marketing stand point, although colors have far less impact on me than on a woman, or an artist. Since Lawrence is in the business of marketing his product, he probably already knew this: when it comes to art and marketing, blue is THE color which is most likely to attract and sell. To Thomas Kinkade, America's #1 selling artist and most European artists, this is gospel...

It's better although I'm not a big fan of blues, but this new look is more professional and more appealing.

I'm a big fan of blue, so I think it looks pretty good. My only criticism is that it looks a little too much like Facebook.
