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.

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. :p

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.

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.

No, it's going in the header along with the logo.
