#color sensitivity

[circuits-unending]

What are good colors to use as themes that are easy on those will color sensitivity and/or are colorblind?

I wanna redo my theme on here because i realized it might not be the easiest to experience for those who have issues with certain colors.

[Image description for the first image: a flag divided diagonally in two. One half has a orange corner and a dark red stripe; the other half is purple and has a yellow 8-pointed star in the corner.]

[Image description for the second and third images: Flags that look kind of the same as the first image; however, the star has been replaced with a diamond that can also be described as a rotated square. The third image is the second image flipped horizontally.]

Queer: An originally pejorative term that has been embraced and reclaimed by part of the MOGAI/LGBTQIAP+ communities as a symbol of pride, representing individuals who fall out of the gender and orientation “norms”, and who are generally against assimilationist politics.

Color meanings:

Orange: the rejection of assimilation/trying to fit in the norm;

Red: our history of fighting/struggling

Purple: the myriad of different queer identities

Yellow star: individuality; the right to describe ourselves with the terminology we think it’s best for us, for instance

The diagonal lines represent moving, and queer people have frequently been described as avant-garde? Sorry if this doesn’t make sense.

Context: Back when the queer chevrons didn’t exist, I found all options of queer flags pretty awful. The 9-striped ones were meh, the pastel flag wasn’t really representative to me, the gradient one was terrible and the ones that derived from the gradient one were okay, but still kind of weird if we are thinking flags.

Then, I decided to make my own option. A lot of people liked the meanings, but there were concerns regarding similarities to real world flags (since a flag that doesn’t have horizontal stripes and that has a star would stick out like a sore thumb) and color sensivity (it’s hard to use those colors together).

The latter two options are so people could better distinguish this flag from country flags.

People tried a lot of options with the colors, but they moved on when other ideas were coined.

colour, pattern and visual noise in general are super overstimulating to lots of children please i'm begging you don't decorate every square centimeter of kids' spaces with every.fuckig.thing. accessibility goes beyond a ramp. as an autistic child i was physically ill in nearly all "wholesome 90s colourful" child space and i remain to be unable to go into most shops. but sure colour is draining out of the world. 🫠 minus the posters, the beeping lights, the led lights, screens on walls and people's hands, the LED SCREENS, accessible printing and all. the world is worse than ever for us.

Is it just me or do any other autistic people have trouble wearing and being surrounded by color esp bright colors. I almost exclusively wear black cause of this (tho it is also an aesthetic choice) but I probably couldn’t wear color anyway

All right. That’s it. You can purge the porn and not solve any goddamn issue at all and I’ll take it in stride.

But the design of this website is now so contrast-y that it is giving me a LITERAL headache to just look at it. I cannot be the only one having this issue, and I am honestly not gonna come back to this godforsaken site like this.

If any of my mutuals still wanna talk to me, toss me some discord links or sommat. Alyiah Laerornil#5163

Sometimes, nothing is more relaxing than an hour with my friendship bracelet kit (not joking). Colors are therapeutic.
