Recolouring my LJ friends.

[baratron]

I have been recolouring my Livejournal friends.

I ran out of colours to give everyone a unique background a long time ago. So I've been getting annoyed every time I've added someone new for the past few months. As I use LJ friends not only for watching journals, but to allow people access to more private entries, I do need to have an absolutely massive friends list. It's kind of annoying that the two features are combined into one.

Anyway, after much futzing about, I've managed to come up with a set of colours for groups of friends that I quite like. Some people who post a lot or are close friends in real life or who are associated with a particular colour scheme in my head have retained their own unique colour scheme. Everyone else has been assigned to a group based on where I know them from.

If you're curious about your colour scheme and why it was chosen, do feel free to ask. Though I can't promise terribly meaningful answers.

Of course, after two hours of swearing at html (couldn't get tables working how I wanted for aaaages), now my head hurts even more than it did before.

I occasionally ponder some poking at colour schemes and stuff for my own journal, but I'm honestly not sure how it all /works/ anyway. So I'm sort of half-posting to be impressed at your dedication and half to see what happens when I say something.

Though if you wanted to tell me why I'm what I am, that'd be cool too. ;)

Well, at least I didn't get put under 'boring' or something like that...my colour scheme is rather boring, imo.

Then again I don't like overly bright colours and I love black and blue and purple and such, so whenever I change colours around they always run around those colours.

well i'm happy to be #015b01 on #dcc99f for the rare occasions on which I post :) that table is also useful for when I'm bored and reading my friendsfriends page, so i can work out which groups people are part of...

can't make tomorrow btw, but I'm free tonight... or alternatively evenings next week...

I can't figure out what Elynne has in common with growf.

Not intentionally, but if it works that way, so much the better!


Cambridge blue was my thought there, actually.
