Site Scheme: scheme with neutral colors

Title:
Site Scheme: scheme with neutral colors

Area:
site schemes

Summary:
Create a new scheme using more neutral and/or less contrasting colors.

Description:
When you're uncomfortable with bright colors, you don't have much choice. Both Tropos have very bright colors, Celerity isn't so bad but only exists as a vertical layout and is mostly white (so bright too) and Gradation is also a high contrast scheme. I think it would be nice to have a scheme with more neutral colors and/or less contrast.

I think this is part of a bigger issue, which is the overlap and duplication of functionality in styles vs. schemes. It has never made sense to me that there should be two un-related layouts.

It does make sense to me. My journal display has a much narrower text area which is perfect for reading most entries but I like the wider area the site provides when I fiddle with options, read long entries or read comments.
