I changed it to #a3a3a1, to match the grey text. I spent far longer on it than I should have, but I'm pleased with the results.

I spent a lot of time on it as well. I ended up using green. It is light and easy on the eyes!

Now I'm wondering what "delay" is.

It's the time interval in minutes after which your comment becomes visible after it is posted. Presumably in order to let people edit/delete impulse comments.

It's also the delay before it shows up in the RSS feed.

For anybody that is wondering, apparently you need 250 karma to change your topcolor: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=438957

Oh the irony. I've been at 249 for awhile now lol

It seems that I fixed that for you. Now you can respond to the poll accordingly.

#FFCC00. It strikes me as a nice halfway point between YC's orange, and HN's tan background.

HN also has http://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors, which shows all the custom topcolors from users active in the past #{interval_i_cant_remember}.

#CCCCCC

The orange Y goes with the grey which goes with the body and is less "flash" than the default.

#66ff00 - reminds me of the old greenscreen monitors.

What was I thinking when I chose it? I wish I knew :P

It is a nice blue though. I even use it on my website now.

Interesting response to this, I'd not even known I could change my top color, or that I'd recently "earned" the right to do so.

Now I know I'm excited about changing it and making sure I pick a suitably "awesome" color, even though I'm the kind of person who usually leaves everything on default unless there's a good reason to change it.
