Quite nice colours but a bit dark. Personally I find these colours quite nice. Very neutral, and I think people have got used to them being like this. Changing them would be something like changing the name of SimV...
Just my thoughts

Personally I've been here over two years and I've got no complaints, some sites I can even read the text as they have things like yellow text on a green background!

Ya, I have gotten used to the colors after 2 years now. ;D But after an hour or two gets to ya. Yellow on Green is pretty bad though. Try white on black. You'd think it be a good color combination, but it will kill your eyes. I was squinting and everything to try and ease it, but no, so I just left. ;)

I do agree that the current colours are not quite perfect, but compared to many, many other sites they are pretty good. Scientifically the best colours is black text on a white background. That puts the least strain on your eyes.
Generally a neutral lighter background and neutral darker text is what I find best.

oooooh noooooo, never! Please mods don't change to this. Yuk! Anyway I like the SimV colours. They are attractive and they 'fit', if u know what I mean.
These colours would be highly unsuitable for here.

Personally...
I'm a great advocate of leaving things exactly as they are, unless there is a serious problem...

...!
Change for the sake of change....?....NAH...

LOL...!
Cheers all...
