Changing the footer background color from gray to blue

What is the underlying problem you're trying to solve?

Changing the footer background color from gray to blue

Describe the ideal solution

As I was scrolling on the website when I see the footer it was having a gray color which looks odd compared to other colors present on the website.

So I just wanted to convert it into a blue color which will improve the look of the website.

I'm attaching the screenshot below.

You can see the updated footer.

Hmm, obviously this is subjective, but I'm not sure I agree with this. The footer is gray like the OPA logo, and many of the other elements already use that blue color. Can't say I feel strongly about this though :)

[UtkarshMishra12]

So what's the conclusion? The blue color will definitely improve the UX.

[anderseknert]

There’s no conclusion, and others are free to weigh in with their opinion. That a blue footer “definitely” would improve the UX is also just an opinion, but if others agree, we should have it changed.

Let me know about the thoughts of other maintainers & contributors. So that we can decide.

Just my two cents, I think the grey is fine, and I think making it blue might clash with the gradient coloring at the top of the page. Again as @anderseknert this is subjective 😅 and I'm no UX expert...

Hard to know without the specific color hexcode, there are many shades of blue. :)

Can you provide the hexcode for the blue you're referring to? Or better yet, can you change the color with DevTools and take a screenshot so that we can see the side-by-side comparison?

@peteroneilljr WDYT? I have no strong opinion here.

[peteroneilljr]

I like it, I don't see any reason not to do it.

[UtkarshMishra12]

@peteroneilljr So may I proceed with it?

[peteroneilljr]

Yes! Go for it!
