I just reloaded the RS website and I thought my monitor had broken, expect that the rest of the internet looks no more offensive than usual.
The purple has been taken to a new level of violence, and then matched with a vile green. I may have to sell out.

Feeling grateful that I all but completely sold out a while ago!

I wished I had come here first I spent ages looking for how to change my monitor before I realised it can't be that I thought Zopa was bad but this one has to take the biscuit it reminds me of when I first started working in an office in london in the late 80's and the team leader in the office had just discovered the colors tab/option on MS Word, his documents looked very unprofessional and were a sea of every color option possible. It did make everyone smile though. I agree its very hard to read, looks like the QA police didn't have time to check that one before the release was agreed. So much for Agile Software Development, or whatever they call it these days. Perhaps the stand-up that day was cancelled due to brexit problems.

Hopefully it's just temporary. I expect it's in aid of Comic Relief or something.

As long as I get a good & secure return on my investment any colour will do me!

Aha, it's part of the new T&Cs effective yesterday, that we all had to agree to without seeing them.
23.19 (a) (ii) Users agree to participate in our ongoing research project concerning the impact of hideous colour schemes on investment decisions.

I'm actually struggling to look at the screen. The mix of banners in a really bright fluorescent purple with the text in a really thin font makes me eyes dart around the screen struggle to focus.

I know this is not a solution, but adjust my screen settings help, setting saturation -65

I like it ( I don't intend to be studying the screens for long anyway) but I like it.

My first thoughts were much the same as some of those above - hideous, amateur, etc.
But on reflection I have realised that this is entirely in keeping with their strategy of driving away those pesky active investors who insist on looking for the best rates and who refuse to accept that RS know what is good for us.
After a while we will all be on Market Rate because we can't log in to do anything else.

Yeah, that's too bright for my eyes. I'll try sunglasses next time I login and see if it's any better. If that was a deliberate change - what a strange idea!

Looking at the login screen I wonder if they are in experimental, sorry Agile development, mode probably using minimal SCRUM techniques perhaps.
To be fair though I wonder how many of the investors are of an age that would find those sizes and colours somewhat difficult. Mind you my glasses have computer anti glare on them and change the colours a little.
If i'm being real honest though they just gave the office junior the job of selecting the colors for the day whilst the rest of the team went up the pub!

I've just sent RS a message hoping that the five year-old who chose the colours for their new website managed to find his way back to school.
