Surely we need some color! :'(

I agree. White is just too... white. Especially at night.

There's a fascinating social question here somewhere because about a decade of Cyberpunk lore made dark colors "the thing", until the "masses" decided "White feels safe".
Now I don't know what anyone thinks of Light Blue.

When I used fractal flames made with apophysis as wallpaper the File Explorer white background was really distracting as the flames usually had a dead black background. It was like glare. A regular on a system modding forum changed the Aero theme to have Antique White as the Explorer background color. It made a big difference.
I have trusty ColorToggle FF extension if needed though. :)

yeah, I find white background too bright nights as well.
I do like the current colour scheme, but wonder if a slightly lighter grey background would be better for more contrast with the text.
rgdot:
Most forums have theme switcher mods (drop down somewhere in the footer) too. I believe smf does but probably not actively maintained if I had to guess.
mouser:
smf does have the option to let users switch themes -- but because our dc theme has been thoroughly modified and customized at nearly all levels, its not practical to let user switch between other stock themes.
I could however, look into how easy and clean it would be to offer the opportunity to change dc coloring/css themes.
