Relaxing colors for charts

Hi,
we stay every day for a long time watching at our charts in the monitor.
I'd like to know which are the more relaxing colors for charts to avoid wasting my eyes.
MY chart is very simple ... just price bars.... what colours do you raccomendo for background and bars ??
Thanks in advance.
Bye.

Avoid a white background and bright colors. This works well for me.

too lazy to take a new picture but purple/green haha

This is EXACTLY what my chart looks like

Great minds . . .

Those colors combinations look very good,indeed!

This I find soothing while listening to Wagner or sometimes Suicide Commando.

My eyes go sideways when i see something like this

Colors of the chart are very important to me. Because I use a lot of geometric patterns, it's important to have things adjusted as to not cause a seizure with all of the stuff I get in a chart.

The squares and circle chart below is an example of a lot of lines, so I used a darker color for the pattern and brightened up price to stand out against the pattern. For the chart with all of the verts I like the verts to stand out so I go with more subdued colors for price.

On a deeper level, colors have a physical effect just as music does. The light spectrum divides colors up by rate of vibration or frequency. So higher frequency colors cause the brain to operate at a higher frequency and vice versa. Again, similar to music. Research has shown that both the mind and body are at higher efficiency when in a lower state. ie, Alpha and Theta brainwaves, etc.

Awesome. So you're into Satan too?

Hi Montecristo, as you know my chart are black with black and white bars with green edges like BigWaveRider's chart. But I like the idea of more relaxing chart, I was playing around, what do you think of something like this:

The most relaxing colors are generally believed to be cool shades such as green and blue....Driving down any highway in the United States, you'll notice that every sign noting an exit or interchange is comprised of reflective white letters on a chalky, dark green background. Civil engineers determined that a driver's eyes don't get as tired looking at print on a green field, yet the colors provide enough contrast for easy character recognition. Another place we see green used is in the "green room" of theaters or television studios because nervous performers are quieted by the color. This is also the reason surgeons wear green scrubs. Hospital waiting rooms, psychiatric wards, and prison cells often paint their walls green for the same effect.

Sure. That's me in the upper left.

Simplicity is The Ultimate key of Success!!!
I Love simple and default colour's of chart's which alway's relax my eye's and i also consider them the best colour set up of bar's and backgroud.

I like the blue and white setup.
Blue is the most relaxing color you can find.

I am into the blues

I've been using these the last few weeks depending if it is on monitor 1 or 2. 1st is Tan background 2nd is Wheat.

I like to decorate my candlesticks like a Christmas tree with red and green. But the key for me is having a black background. If you do much trading late at night or in a dark room, you'll want to save your eyes. Black is best.

This is how i like it!
I only use the white backgound because i like it simple and i also found an old template that i found realy nice regarding colours. I hope you find it usefull.

Here's the scheme I use. The same colors are carried over to my trading platform as well.

A blue color scheme like Skyhook's is probably also pretty easy on the eyes. I like the indicator that prints the prices. Care to share? Thanks.
