== Overuse of color, and too many contrast changes ==

Needs to be expanded, needs references, etc. But this topic is also important.
Introducing {{tl|Gradient}}. Edokter
:It is beautiful. But from a usability point of view, overuse of gradient is quite distracting for the eye and reduces [[readability]]. Too much useless strain on the eye. [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] ([[User talk:Dodoïste|talk]]) 00:40, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

:::Not only. I meant overuse in a matter of quantity. Not really in a matter of color choice quality because soccer projects will have their way anyway (as well as many other projects, its just an example so don't take it personally). Do you consider [[Template:Gradient/testcases]] as good examples? I absolutely don't. There are too may contrast and color variations, and the eye needs to get adapted at every change of contrast. In the end, it simply makes it waaay longer to read. [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] ([[User talk:Dodoïste|talk]]) 01:12, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
