Fodor's colors
 

Yuck, Black, mustard, rusty orange, blue, grey replacing red? Uuuugggly! IMHO!

I just caught it too. Very retro. I thought I was seeing things, like bad shag carpet or like someone got sick. Are we the only ones who have noticed? How about some pleasant soothing colors, greens, blues, yellows.

<i>I like :)</i>

Looks very Halloween (~~)

I also like...((r))

I like it too.

Hate it!!! ((n)) Can't stand it -- bring back baby blue!!! ((b))

It's easier for old folks to read...guess that's why I like it....

Its too distracting!

I stated on another thread, that most design concepts from the 70's are best left there. They weren't that great the first time and don't improve when regurgitated

The color of the website does not effect me one way or the other - aren't we all here for information?

I guess this means that our &quot;flying man&quot; Fodorite pins are now collectables. Or do I mean obsolete instead?

It will take some getting used to.

I said it on the other thread, will say it again here: Looks like latest color scheme for a fast-food chain featuring processed cheese.

ARRGGHHHHH!!

Has anyone else worked on this new site for a while, then left the computer to be greeted by a blinding white spot in the upper left hand corner of your field of vision? I think it's from that bold black FODORS staring at me for so long. Ouch!

Cassandra -- too funny. I wondered why I had un uncontrollable urge this morning to eat Velveeta.

That's it!!!!! Velveeta Cheese. Perhaps we will all eat some Chili Con Queso later today!!! Ughhhh.... Subliminal..............

Fantastic! Very graphic, easy to read, and &quot;hot.&quot; Beats boring colors!

Bleah...

Bring back the blue.

So soothing and reminds me of my favorite place - the Caribbean :)

Yuck .. it looks like Fodor's is not waiting till Oct. to celebrate Halloween. I think the colors are ghastly.

Count me among those reminded of Velveeta cheese..or the old Hojo's.
I miss the graphic of Muffin flying.

Silly people -- have you not noticed the color scheme for this year's Fodor's Guidebooks? It's a THEME.

What THEME would that be? Poor taste? :)

If they were going for yellow, it's too muted. If they wanted a mustard shade, it's too bright. Links get lost easily. And the orange? Also way too bright.

((8)) ((8)) I'm just mad about Saffronnnnnnn...((8))

((8)) And Saffron's mad about me... ((8)) ((8))

Funny though...on my screen they are more salmon and red. Shades of Christo's gates???

Have to laugh though. When they brought in the blue green scheme we hated it, now others ( or the same ones?) hate the new ones.

I'm wondering if the plan is to just change the color scheme every few months. Gets you looking at the top of the screen where the ads/info reside?

Patrick -- I've had the same reaction as you. After being on the &quot;new and improved&quot; site for a little while I have this white spot in my left eye, just like after someone takes a flash photo.

I'm not too crazy about the colors -- better left in the 70's or for food packaging.

I like the format of the home page, but the dark black logo blob constantly in the left corner of the screen is distracting (not to mention blinding).

I never thought I'd say this, but I liked the acid green color better.

I love the new color scheme and find it to be warm and inviting :-D

As my daughter is wont to say, &quot;...just not feelin it.&quot;

Hate it! Orange, Gold, Black....it's a product placement for something....A&amp;W??

Said it on the other thread - don't like it. The black Fodor's definitely makes your eyes hurt.

Still think it's Uuuuugllly! Those who say it bright......those are the most ugly muted colors of yellow and orange I've seen in awhile.....alas maybe adding avocado instead of gray would have made it work......and yes I get the burn hole in my retna from the glaring black fodors in the left corner....I have no problem with pretty yellow and orange...... there is nothing bright and cheery about this, you need to check your screens.JMHO!!!!!!!!!!

Owe!! by eye is burning from the black on white Fodors neon sign!!!!!!!!! Help!!!

this is very strange. There is no orange, only a red like a tomato???

Well it seems like just a few months ago so many were bitchin about the lime green and that they couldn't stand it.

But nobody went away, did they? Guess it wasnt' THAT bad after all, just as everyone will learn to ignore this.

i miss the easy to read &quot;tier&quot; of countries in soothing baby blue.

feels like i'm back in my parents den in 1974. paging keith partridge.

Omigosh, KeriKeri...our moms must have had that same designer. I had erased that red-orange couch w/yellow accents from my mind along with other traumas. hehe

I liked the color scheme until you said that!
