I agree with everyone's overall sentiment about accessibility and having
a good default color scheme, etc., but am genuinely puzzled by the
specific hate for gemini.circumlunar.space's look. Nobody would ever
accuse me of having excellent vision, and I find it positively
delightful?

The light olive seems just muted enough to be a better contrast than
glaring white. Maybe the red is a little too bold but it's mostly fine
and used sparingly. I don't get the sense at *all* that solderpunk made
it intentionally bad to emphasize client styling. It feels carefully and
well chosen to me.

What am I missing?
