Yours eyes don't lie; we have changed the color palette, and sharpened up the top-line banner while we were at it.   Although, I personally am fond of the "believing is seeing" formulation—an ironic trope on the surpassing ability of human beings to see what they want to see.

We're going to stay with this new color palette for awhile (a week?  two weeks?) and see if it generates any strongly positive or negative feedback.  In the meantime, never accuse me of not doing my best to listen to you all, dear readers.  Feedback is, as they say, a gift.
