I wasn’t too fond of the CSS Zen Garden. Browsing the design wasn’t made easy. At last, a Dutch guy made an elegant design browser: http://csszengarden.coret.org/

I don’t like using orange as a background color. It just seems to scream, “Look at me, I’m special!” I prefer cooler colors like blue to set the mood.

Since green is apparently the new orange, would a green based palette have given him an even bigger edge?

The Zen Garden doesn’t have astronauts.

Oh… it was fair. Eric’s brain is big enough to hold the equivalent amount of information of 100 blogger designer brains. It just so happens that the Zen Garden had 106 brains, so Eric dropped the ball. But you’re right, had CSS Edge used Orange, there’s no way Shea and crew woulda stood a chance. 8^)

I don’t think it’s fair, though, because you made all the stuff on CSS Edge youself. The garden is great concept, but a community effort was needed to pull it off. However, you should have used orange, that much is certain. Orange. Could have won…

Combine low contrast orange (aka the new black) and low contrast blue, and you’ll at least get the Florida Gator vote :-)
