I normally have 3 colors on my screen, although I can have up to 8 colors on it (depending on what happens in the game). So I certainly like my color (I'll also point out my mud offers only one color for 2 different things, so it certainly has very little color). So there goes claim #1

I went and had a look at what this terrible other thread was about, here are the points I found in the first post:
* OP has no problems with muds that use colors in moderation.
* Doesn't like muds that overuse colors.
* Concedes that what they view as moderate use and overuse may differ from other people, and asks what others (especially admins of muds) think.

Here are your points:
* The text on colorless muds tends to blur together.
* Muds with no color are made by lazy admins
* Admins don't use color because they fear how they'll be perceived
* It's popular to dislike colors
* It is only popular to dislike colors because a small select amount of people have decided this and so everyone copies their opinion due to hero worship
* Despite this opinion, more and more colors are being used in newer muds
* Not using colors is an outdated custom
* You don't like us because we're... trendy?

Well I didn't see anything in the OP worth disagreeing with, on the other hand I see a lot in your post to disagree with. But as you didn't seem to make this thread to actually discuss the topic, I won't bother.
