New colors on community

Hi SAS Community,

You might have noticed a few color changes to elements on these community discussion forums. Our brand team has provided us with a new box of crayons to use -- they added some new colors and took a few away. I'm posting this message to affirm that if you noticed "something looks just a little different" -- indeed, it is a little different.

Hopefully all of the colors play nice together and blend well with what you see on https://www.sas.com and other SAS sites. As always, let us know if you see anything unexpected!

While I am usually very picky about colors (and fonts), I do in general like the new colors and fonts. There is one exception, that being the color for this specific header for only SAS Visual Analytics:

When I open a post in the SAS Visual Analytics forum, this used to be orange (if my memory is correct) and this was a flag for me to not read or answer the question, as I don't use SAS Visual Analytics at all and am not really qualified to answer questions on this topic. I would like it if the color of this one header could be changed back to orange.

Hi @PaigeMiller,

I appreciate your feedback and I understand you'd like a way to easily differentiate between major topic categories. We've squeezed out most of the orange (brand color changes), but I'll see if there is a way we can meet the goal another way.
