What style do you use?

Don't want to be a humbug, but I don't like either too much, although I use the green and black. It's just that the green and black is very alien and futuristic looking, and it's such a popular free style that tons of people have it, and the green white is nice, but not too original. Neither really have a "tavern" feel.

I always thought that brown and gold would be nice, or red and gold.

Or that old rainbow colored GameTavern theme. Anyone still have a screenshot of that?

Red and gold, or brown and gold would look really tacky.

Yeah, if the person making it didn't know what they were doing or didn't have any artistic talent.

I think gold is a bad colour choice.


I'd go with a light version of both colours.
Like, a really pale red, outlined possibly by a deeper red, and instead of gold - because gold is overdone everywhere, a really pale yellow.

Green and black. I still think a orange and white would be cool :P

A darkish brown resembling wood would fit the tavern motif nicely. Perhaps each "shelf" could physically resemble wooden shelves. The forums themselves could be clickable bottles on these shelves. But with only two per shelf might not look as nice as it could would more. The parchment looking background on WOW's site might be nice for post backgrounds.
