Ask HN: Do you use default top color for HN?

Interested to see if people go with default top color or choose to use a custom one (from profile page).

I use #ebebeb.

I personally like #f6f6ef.

I didn't realize that feature exists until I read your post. Neat!

You and me both!

I'm with you two! I like #FF80DD

Apparently you need to have over 251 karma to use the feature

Was about to try and see what #2789c2 would look like, only to not see the setting and get frustrated. Thanks for clarifying.

Time to good looking for karma.

I changed my color as soon as I got enough points to do so. Just for the sake of the game. I'm now at 438 and looking forward to the next threshold which I believe is 500 (ability to downvote).

It's nice to have a game element. It makes it exciting when I open up HN. I always glance to the top bar to see what's happening with my score.

I use F6F6EF to make it "invisible".

Though currently with: https://userstyles.org/styles/71445/better-hacker-news-desig... makeing it visible again :) but I like the colors now

Yes, I do.

I don't know what other colors that match with my eyes. But, after reading this thread (thank you for asking this to HN users), I am going to try different colors on HN top bar. See... what will happen...

It's nice that people brought their color preferences here.

Nop, I have it white. Looks minimalistic.
