Stands out very nice with the sites dark layout, the words in my sig are so sharp. It's currently drizzling outside.
I'm pretty sure any kind of red looks awful on the dark theme. Except maybe this? More of a peach, though...
And it was that day that Luxord became a legendary member of KHV. Bringing peace never before seen. Putting out the fires of hate over the long dispute of a new Premium color.
Goldenrod looks REALLY good on the dark theme. Darker purples, however... I'd use it if it wasn't hard to read on the white theme, which is the one I use mainly. It's actually not that hard to read on the white theme. Oh well, still too lazy to use a post template all the time.
I always just assume everyone uses the dark theme. The text in my sig probably hurts the eyes of the people who use the light one. Caring ceased.
And then realizing Vivi is not a brethren of Premiumhood, the endless dispute became endless once more...
Go for paler colors, they hurt the eyes less period. If default red is #FF0000, then use #EE2020. Same with yellow (#FFFF00). Use #EEEE20.
Trust me, regular user is an upgrade. I'm pretty sure I've been an admin for like five minutes once and regular user is still an upgrade. Also, I'm pretty sure Goldenrod WAS the premium color at one point.
