Ask HN: Warmer font color?

4 pointsby healthyhippoover 14 years ago
I'm looking at some of the fonts on this page and trying to figure out why they look so much nicer than my regular ones in HTML. So, couple questions:<p>1. How do I get that colored warm look that the designer has used? (see pic)<p>http://imgur.com/rOy5T

I was actually talking about the colors to the side of the font-- the blues, oranges, and reds that shaded the outside of the black. It turns out that most type in my mac shows up like this, though it doesn't show up like that in inkscape where I've been doing my mockups.<p>Thanks all.

This is an artifact of subpixel rendering ("ClearType" on Windows, subpixel antialiasing on OS X). The Wikipedia article is quite good: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering</a>

You mean the off-black fonts? Blueprint CSS for one uses a dark gray for its fonts: #222222 and that gives it a warmer look.
