This has been bothering me for more than two years now, and I've always wondered: why in the world is the top badge count color pink (or more specifically, #FFDBDB)?

Wouldn't white be better? No?

  • It's worth noting that it is white on meta. I had noticed this before, but have no issues with pink.

  • oh man, that took me two minutes to see, but Strix is right -- you really can't unsee it.

    I think it's a way to deemphasise the badge count without resorting to grey or transparency

  • @badp it makes them sound out more to me...maybe not when scanning, but once you see it...

I have no idea why it's been pink... Looking at my original design mockup for the site back when it was gaming.se it wasn't pink.

Anyway, I un-pinked it. The change will be in the next prod build.

  • Just out of curiosity, any idea when that'll be?

  • It appears to be unpinked as of now.
