Ask HN: Have you changed your top color on HN?

The default is 55b6f2 - most HN screenshots look the same. so I'm wondering if anyone's changed it!

    No. In general I prefer not to fiddle with preferences. If a site/app/OS has a decent set of defaults, I'll just use that. Attempts to optimize it are rarely significant improvements, and usually just lead to bike-shedding (spending more time arguing about the color than actually building).

    I kept the default, but use a browser plugin for dark mode.

    I use 880088 - softer on my eyes and a nice number to boot

    Yep. Mine is #FFFDFB. I'll leave visualizing the result as an exercise for the reader.
