Is purple the official colour of St James Ethics Centre? Does anyone else hate it?

Well, on my computer it's magenta and I love it.
Prisons in the US use pink colours to diffuse potential agression as macho men reject anything that is the colour pink. Does that description fit you mcfate?
It would be interesting to know if this thinking was behind the forum colour scheme.

I am confident in my manhood. Pink doesn't bother me.

The logo of the St James Ethics Centre - you can see it at the top of the page - is some black squiggles on a mostly orange background. No pink to be seen. It appears on the cover of the most recent annual report, which is available as a PDF on the SJEC website, and the cover is otherwise dark blue.

I'm guessin the pink colour scheme is only on the website, and credit or blame is due to some website designer who was either (a) confident in his manhood, (b) camp or (c) a woman.

It looks a bit halfway between pink and purple. I think a more calming colour would be green or blue or something.

Teal! Teal is the only ethical choice!

Or cyan.

What is that totem like object that sits next to the Ethics Forum name?
Does anyone know?
I agree teal is a lovely colour.
Teal coloured eyes are beautiful.

I prefer using my colors rather than there colors so mine is mostly, gasp, black and white. The totem-looking gizmo is a little orange but that's it.

Small children of both genders love pink. During my childcare years I had cups in assorted colours, but the kids persistantly asked to have the pink one. When a girl arrived and asked if she could use the pink cup before she had even said good morning and walked through the front door, I put it in the bin. I've witnessed exactly the same thing in other childcare centres although they have used more financially viable solutions to the problem.

Yes, Hunter I've noticed the use of colour in advertising, to manipulate moods in the same way extracts from Mozart's beautiful Requiem Mass are used indiscriminately as backing for sporting or dramatic promotional material to suggest profundity, passion and even ecstasy.
At a brief marketing class I learned red and yellow are used as attention grabbers, in much the same way as a girl in a bikini!

I find that the site colour combinations are restful to the eye, mine eyes at anyrate, so I've no complaint.
