Don't worry, you're not missing any information... It actually is shades
of gray in many places. Only a couple of the grays are off-gray, and those
are only off-gray in a very subtle way (about 5% into the red/yellow "warm"
spectrum). With the exception of link color changes, none of the colors do
anything except a visual aid to quickly scanning the page, so even if you
didn't see any color at all and saw the whole world in monochrome, you would
be missing only a little. The biggest use of color as a tool there is the
use of shades of red to draw attention to various things (for quick
scanning).

Hmm.

What things did you like more about the old way than the new way?

It turns out that it's very important in the grand scheme of things. True,
it's an unconventional thing for a site to do, perhaps even odd, but if
you're used to the old static homepage, give the new one some time, and
I guarantee that it'll grow on you.
