    Yes. It happens every year.

    Someone should make a compendium of all the "Tell HN: Merry Christmas" and corresponding "Ask HN: Why did the colors change?" threads over the years. It would be fun, and is probably be a good fit for semantic search.

    Made a request so I can keep using that when Christmas is over. It makes HN usable to me. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46382452

    The red looks great overall. Changing the text to white might improve contrast and readability. I experimented with red in my app, but it didn’t work visually, so I moved to a snowfall theme.

    The Christmas color scheme is a bit off for me. The title bar is too light to read.

    I turned off my dark theme and the page became high-contrast chromatic in my browser. It is readable like that, if brutally so.

    Wrong answers only! It's a secret feature of HN, like the black bar, but for when someone has made Dan angry.

      It's not red! You're just colorblind.

      Black bar?

        It’s like a grizzly bar, but mostly found on the east coast.
