Which red do you like?

[SagaLore]

Red Test

I added black, white, and gray so the eyes could better compare.

edit2:
I have added another bitmap using those 2 colors, but as part of the graphics they're in.
http://www.sagalore.com/anandtech/redtest2.bmp You can see that the left red has a dark gradient to it.

edit:
Also, if you are color blind, please post and let me know which color or shade looks better to you.

Why?

 

[Colt45]

trying to save bandwidth or wtf? so tiny

 

[ni4ni]

good question!

 

[BW86]

I like the right red.

 

[audi]

i like the grey, but it's not a poll option :Q

 

[shilala]

I like the left best. Too much black in the right one. I'd like something in between the two better.

I'm working on a redesign of http://www.antisource.com. I looking at other templates to get an idea of what I'm going to do. I came across the Axonz-Red template at http://demo.geeklog.net and that red looks pretty nice in contrast to the charcoal colored bar. But, a lot of webmasters have commented how much they like the current color scheme and red I'm using. I have trouble matching colors up sometimes.

You must have some really huge resolution. I'm using 1600x1200 on a laptop and it's plenty big to me.

edit:
oh and I really like your sig

..to me right red is deeper/darker. Left is lighter slightly washed out looking..but both look red.

My LCD's contrast is so bad I can barely tell the difference

That's another issues I'm having - trying to get the colors to look good on multiple monitors and lcds.

 

[Ikonomi]

I like the one that's the color of AIDS blood.

I think I'm only running 1024x. I posted when I first woke up, so perhaps my eyes weren't fully open yet

The sig is a quote from Tommy Douglas.

Hmmm... poll is split.

 

[imported_Schmitty]

your poll is going to be inconclusive!

 

[bandana163]

Right.
The left one is too bright, I don't like the bright shades of any color.

 

[MrCodeDude]

The one on the left > the one on the right.

 

[bigredguy]

add a green bar to the bottom.
