That'd be a pretty cool theme. Would probably look like the email theme.
I have not decided on one yet but its interesting to see the votes though.
I personally swap, lean abit more to orange (which is what I voted for) but would swap to blue when I'm feeling like it lol.
I'm using "HTC" on black.
I found the green HTC theme better than other green.
I'll be using Red on Black!
Just pushing this thread back up since WP7 will be coming out in the states this week, and hopefully would push the total votes up
Pushing again, same reason as my last post

agree, black&white and/or greys would be great.
on another note during day i almost always use the white design and after sunset/when its dark i switch to the dark design.
i would have never thougt i would actually take the hassle of switching back and fort but somehow the two designs are really practical in different lightning conditions. I really appreciate microsoft included both options; one of the features which tunred out to be super usefull on WP7 enabled phones
Teal on Black here
Teal is like Blue, but stylish Try it
any chance that in a future update.. i might be able to have a little bit more variety in my colors?? don't get me wrong.. the "core" colors are pretty much there...but they completely forgot about other major colors... such as yellow, grey, white, black (as a tile color not the background... in case you're completely oblivious to the obvious) etc... it doesn't seem like something that would be that hard to minclude in an update.. yet it seems very elementary that it would be forgotten at launch
I think a colour selection wheel for the tiles would be awesome.
I'm using green on black because it's the most power-saving combination for SAMOLED-screens but I'd like to try grey on black or maybe gold on black.
I thought Id like green on black, but i tried red on black (which i originally thought was too strong a color) and it works surprisingly well
Push. Incase theres more peeps who recently received their WP7 device.
Just FYI,
For the Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 or any device using Amoled screen.
Do not use:
- White background, it takes 3 times the power of normal LCD to produce white.
- Red theme, it makes characters look more pixelated and the edges of tiles grainy.
- Blue theme, blue color dies first in Amoled screens.
Do use:
- Black background, it uses the least power and much much less than a LCD.
- Green/lime would be your best bet since the fonts and tiles look much more clear and crisp because of the double pixels/saturation on green color.
Hi guys & gals,
In a span of 23 years of architectural practice, I have come to realise that different age groups relish/appreciate different color groups. Elderly people would love to have softer paler colors while pre-teens & teens are open to any color & any mix of colors. While men prefer warmer ones, Women prefer pinks, pastels, magentas & mauves.
Each age group/sex tends to prefer a certain part of android market/life.
Before I finalize my two ROMs, I am now taking requests from anybody/everybody what they would prefer. You also need to mention your age, sex & profession.
I am NOT asking for firmware requests or theme requests. I am asking for color requests + if possible how & in what way you you use your SGS best.
14/3 - I have short-listed a few color schemes for you.
1 - All Greys.
2 - Light Pink + Blue.
3 - Seagreen + Navy Blue.
4 - Yellow + Dark Greys.
5 - Orange + Deep Red.
What do you say?
Monochrome is the best!
I always use a black background en white symbols, .. my agenda, clock, shortcuts and even the weather is in white!
And if it has to be a color, the sgs suits the color blue pretty well, .. meaning man and woman would/could adore it!
Hope to see some of your work soon!
I'm young and would prefer a dark theme simply because it would save battery life on SAMOLED.
Good idea there mate. I am a teen reaching adulthood, male, and I like lighter, relaxed color scheme. Think Go Launcher "cartoon" theme or MIUI. It's nice and the graphics looks consistent. I like more flat, than 3D. Think Gingerbread instead of Froyo. I always like my homescreen to be colourful, basically combination of cyan, orange and green.
Hey ragin.
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Preference: Usually a noir style; blacks, whites and greys (sorta like R64's theme). Also like a combination of black, navy blue or sky blue.
20 Male
I like black with gray and white + (not light) blue or green. Gingerbread for example is really nice. To say it simpler:
1 color + black and white and gray.
35 male
Black, green, orange. Sharp lines more than curved.
45 male
I like darker colors and not very easy.
I'm 22 years old, and I prefer strong colors: red, black, white.
20 male, I like neon futuristic type colours...i.e. The neon green in Jumbas NeonGT theme. Neon blue would also be a cool colour to incorporate.
50+
male
it management
I prefer FULL colour menus, in ALL menus, single colour themes make a phone bland, like a cheap rip off.
I like things to stand out, be very clear and clinical, I like sharp clean text lines, I am not a lover of the Doctor type fonts where you have to figure out the wording ;-)
And no I am not going blind or the likes due to my age But for those that remember the old green screen days, to be able to see and use FULL colour makes a big difference, reds and yellows give you a clue that the options have consequences, colour has many visual properties that allow the brain to see information in colour before you read the text, and using monochromatic schemes loose that impact and functionality

These are my colours as well, using mostly black though. 29 M business management. A note though: any and all colours can be attractive to anyone (I believe)....the secret is the balance and combinations between them. I have been surprised myself when I've seen certain things that contain not my first choice of colours but looked good to me nonetheless because someone did a good job mixing them

this thread I think that is better located in the themes forum...

Well, this is becoming a large pallette to configure, I think I will sort the replies & try to organize the requests onto 3-4 catagories. Let's see how this turns out.
Thanks to everyone who have answered. Your replies will definately help me.
To others, keep posting.
I prefer matte and clean colours. Matte blue, green, red (and burgundy), dark and light grey are all nice colours in a UI. I don't like the Windows Vista and HTC Sense glossy style on the interface.
Male, 18 years old.
Im male, 18, and i would love a black/navy blue combination, or a dark silver instead of black.
U should make a poll with the 3 most loved colors or smthing.
Like the topic says, I have a question about the accessories colors from the s3.
Are the accessories more designed fore the blue or for the white s3?
I want to buy a s3 but I don't know which color would be better for the accessories so I hope you guys can help me!

To match the colours, it's really upto you how you think of it. I actually have the blue and i find it quite hard to find a perfect match with most lite colours cases, with blue it mostly grey, black, silver, brown, blue and similar dark colours, whiles the white S3 can match with many lite and dark colours.
I'll be getting a white S3 soon, so i'll have two.
already have about 9 cases, mostly dark and transparent colours.
As the person above stated, a white S3 will basically go with anything while certain colors look good for the blue. Don't let that be a deciding factor though since there are a lot of good looking cases that match the blue s3. I roll with a blue s3 cause it looks good.

What I do notice is that 99% of all accesoires are displayed with the white version. I have the blue one and sometimes it is hard to think if it matches the case. Nonetheless the blue color is very nice.

yeh, all adverts, photo's and reviews all use the white unit.
Simple, as stated above, white goes with everything, blue doesn't. I've had blue phones in the past and won't do it again. Regardless, the blue is still a good looking phone.
Currently not being productive.
Anyone think there a relative decision to release the galaxy s3 line of phones in red, white, and blue? Seeing how they were all in the Olympic mix

I like the change. Blue is beautiful and black is too common. Metallic Grey would've been good, too. But nothing beats pebble blue.

I think it was a complete coincidence. I think the white and blue colors are much more aesthetically pleasing than black. They're calming colors. Black is just kind of the neutral default. As for the red one, I'd bet that was 100% AT&T's idea. It doesn't fit the calming nature of the pebble blue and marble white or the nature ideas of TouchWiz. It's kind of tacky, imo.
Also, if you're implying that those colors were chosen to represent the US or something, I'd say you're almost certainly mistaken. First, red, white, and blue are all very common flag colors. Who's to say which country they chose the colors to represent? Second, the phones are being released around the world in the same two colors, including to countries with no white or blue in their flags. Third, assuming, then, that they were chosen to represent the Olympic colors rather than a country, what about the yellow, green, and black versions they would have to release? Fourth, if they were to release phones in special colors for any country, it would have to be their home country of South Korea, which actually has the colors white, blue, and red on their flag but is not getting the red phone.
Really, I think it just came down to the most aesthetically pleasing colors: white and blue (at least the particular shade of blue they used). Almost any other color would have either destroyed the whole design language or just looked really ugly. I don't think a pebble green (or moss green or leaf green or whatever) would have gone over quite as well. Same with yellow, pink, violet, brown... I mean, if the phone isn't black, what other colors could you use that wouldn't be ugly to a large portion of the population? White and light blue, exactly what Samsung chose (Nope. Still not counting red. I think AT&T really ****ed that up).

Ha! I was just going to point out the same thing :good:
I wanted Black or a "Gunmetal" Gray personally. Don't want a purple "pebble blue", so went white. Don't hate it, but everything else I own is Gunmetal and/or Black. Electronics, most of my shirts, even my car, lol
they may, but you´ll have to pay some extra money for a fancy color. I stay with the black and keep it classic.

Naa..no way man. Obviously they represent America and all it's kick ass'ness.
I like the idea going with the Olympics but I am not sure I could ever like the pebble blue color!

As an international phone that was first released in England (obviously the location of the games with the same flag color), this would fit right into the OP's theory. It's not just an American market they're selling to.

Did I get a faulty Note II? I am using Light flow and certain colors are not working right. For example pink has a tiny pink dott, the rest of it looks purple/bluish. Orange seems to be comprised of two colors, yellow and green etc... A lot of colors, that are supposed to be different from each other, look the same and all are comprised of blue, purple and some other colored parts. The only colors that really work seem to be blue, red and green. Is it just me? I miss my old Xperia Mini as far as this is concerned...
