Charlotte Nix (ID: 00000012a17d1f02) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/04/2020 Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I have issues with brightness in general, and the new changes to ravelry have made it impossible for me to use for any useful amount of time. This chrome extension is so incredible to look at from an eye strain perspective, and the colors use is much more elegant. A lighter yellow and less saturated medium teal is used, but I think they are from the same new color palette overall. It has every change I suggested in my review to Ravelry. I thought the whole redesign would be more approachable with a few color changes, and Chantal proved me right! Give this extension a try, and you won't be disappointed. Chantal, you are my personal hero!
