Yay for friend colours

[pne]

It's fun being able to begin reading an entry on my Friends Page and not seeing the poster's name yet (because it's vertically centred in the table cell) but knowing who it is anyway because of the background colour I've assigned to that friend.

Pity that doesn't scale, though :) But for a bunch of people, I can recognise them fairly consistently by colour (especially the ones that post more often), and there aren't that many colours that are assigned to multiple people.

(Hm, I wonder what colour, if any, different people have assigned me.)

Cool, I'm #a501a7 on #fcddff! I do like lavendar, thank you =)

I didn't understand what the colours were for, so I set everyone to the same colours (black on white).

Glad you like it :)

For some people, I tried to find colours that "fit" them somehow, but for many (especially people I added later) it was simply "which colour haven't I used yet" coupled with "it shouldn't be too close to an existing colour, either, if possible".

But I think I chose yours fairly early, so I was probably influenced by your journal style.
