Colour Scheme

To get started, I want to know the colour scheme we should use for this forum. (We can get into in-person decorations later)
Re-Emergence Day is a weird one, since it's celebrated in the dead of winter (cool blues/whites), but it's also thematically about renewal (greens/pinks).

I always associated RE-Day with the colours I found on the ground that time of year. Dark brown, symbolizing the mud and dog feces gently revealed as the snowbanks recede, and light pink (sometimes blue) for the colours of the snow melting salt against the white-ish, brown-ish snow. Yep - brown and pink really conjure RE Day for me.

Got it,
* dark brown, against white-ish
* light pink (somewhat blue)
I'll see what I can do.

hahahaha I did it, by installing and defaulting the ProValentina style:

Changed to Metrolike Brown, but I think I could do better

Looking good! I seem to remember an old nursery rhyme that lists off the traditional colours…
EDIT**Found it:
White for the snow unbidden
Rust for the soil still frozen
Green for the quiet moss growin'
Blue for the eye that's a-wakin'
