@Emiel1 It's an interesting observation you have made, whilst the black can be harsh it's actually easier for all people to read including those who may be colour blind.
They changed the signage at Cornwall Park in Auckland to Teal on Black and extremely small Font, now no one can read it as it's soooooo soooo badly designed.
They also have plonked street name lists about Auckland and they too are very small to near impossible to read.
Someone is making easy quick money without been held to account.
I personally preferred the teal and pink tones however one must always thinks of those who find it more challenging to see.
I'm sure with the new kid on the block who used to work with Apple we are likely to be able at some stage to choose whatever colour we want.
There's more important things to worry about.
I agree 100% re Dots, especially when they are Rolling Ones or Blank white pages....
