I'm just gonna pop in and say that I really like the color scheme here. I think Dharmawheel is a little gloomier.


Secretly, the only reason I'm a Theravadin is so I get to use the forum with the better color scheme.

I associate yellow and orange with Theravada, and red & other earth tones with various Mahayana; I always assumed such a robe color theme was the basis here...

Correct.

We had several discussions about the color scheme here and especially at Dharma Wheel and one thing for sure that came out of that is that there is no way for everyone to be happy with the colors. It was sort of like "too many cooks spoil the broth" as almost everyone had an idea of what colors should be used and even where the colors should go, so eventually just stuck to the common colors found in the robes of the traditions with the note that the colors would never change (so no one has any expectation).

Plus it is a good way to test your upekkha (equanimity).
