Every single block of color is clearly discernible to me. I <3 my ultra monitor. 16:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * At default 50% gamma, I can't discern the first two blacks in the top line or the first three blacks in the bottom line. I have to turn it up to 60% to discern the top line, and to 70% to discern the bottom line.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 16:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Only the 2 grays on 16 aren't different for me; 0-1 blacks are almost the same, but if I squint a little bit I see a difference. --- -- (contribs)  &emsp;(talk)  16:48, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, the two grays on 16 that are vertically adjacent are actually the same, so that's ok. Thank you all for the feedback, it seems the light grays are easy to distinguish but the blacks are more critical. Keep the feedback coming! --◄mendel► 17:47, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, so on the top bar: #3 starts to look lighter from black, 14 is very pale, 15 looks barely off-white (I'd say it was white if there wasn't actual white next to it, and I have to stare to see the difference).
 * On the second bar, 0-4 blend, 5-6 I'd call black, 7-8 are a little off-black, but I'd call them black if I saw them alone, 9 is starting to look gray.
 * On the third bar, 8 and below is starting to look very pale (too pale for a navbox imo), 5 is barely gray, 4 and under look white on their own, 2-1-0 blend completely.
 * On the colors, pale(new) W and Rt I can see somewhat comfortably, the rest of the pale(new) are almost not there. The other colors are ok.
 * On the boxes on the very bottom, on pale(new) I can only barely see the yellow (W), and a very faint shade of the first 3 (R, N, Rt), all others are completely gone.
 * I never mess with my monitor or gamma or any of that stuff, it's always been like this and I never found anything that bothered me or was a problem until now. The results are the same in FF3 and IE7.
 * Hope this helps. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 22:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup, that helps. You see less contrast in the white to light gray spectrum than I do, and no matter how I tinker with my monitor, I can always see 15 as clearly darker then 16. Just goes to show, I guess. Well, the gist of it is, one of the reeasons you don't like the light gray designs because they look different to you than to me. --◄mendel► 22:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
