Okay, I thought something was wrong that I was suddenly seeing the Beta colors all the time rather than just on the pages of folks who had signed up for the Beta.  I guess it went live anyways. 

I have to say these are not good colors for an art website at all.  Please go back to true NEUTRAL colors, not anything that is blue, red, pink, purple, yellow, etc.    It fights with the artwork.  My art looks awful now with the surrounding blue, and that's not how I wish it to be viewed.  ME - the artist - would like it displayed with a neutral surrounding.

When I opened up the site and my friend was walking through the room, he stopped and said, 'Holy hell.. what is that?  What did they do?'   I think the majority of us here have the same opinion.  'What is this hot mess?'

Yeah, I can download a fix for me.. but it doesn't fix how others who come to the site see it.  They see the blue.  If I do a piece in greens and yellows or sepia, it looks absolutely horrible with the surrounding color.  You wouldn't frame a picture in your home in this color would you?  Not on your life.. so why would you use it on an art website?

I still see it very bright, by the way.  Very, very bright.
